Best all weather sailing boat for the Northwest, because you sail and motor from the inside of the roomy pilothouse.
And, with so many currents between the islands, at 13 knots, you will get through.
This motorsailer is meant for the Northwest's wet weather and cold during the winter month.
And unlike most sailboats, everybody can stay inside the pilot house with a view.
