Saturday 5 July 2014

Xanthus for sale.

We sailed out of Port Townsend, WA, USA 4 years ago and have been sailing Xanthus around the pacific ever since. She's been a wonderful full time home for us. We are currently in Apia, Samoa, at least for the next month or so and then it's on it some other beautiful pacific island.
Xanthus is a Contessa 26 built in Ontario in 1980. She's in great shape. We did a major refit in Hawai'i 2012/2013 She comes with her trusty companion, "Lucy" a 10' 4” nesting dinghy with sailing rig. The dinghy is a Danny Greene chameleon design.
