Overview

About this vessel

Strongly built and capable blue water cruiser. Reliable Ford Lehman diesel, flexible ketch rig and massive tankage make this a solid choice for around the sound, or around the world, cruising.

135k spent in major refit in 2023-2025

In very good condition with recent survey!

Tynamara is a proven passagemaker having across the pacific and back with a previous owner. Current owner did a very professional re-fit in preparation for a circumnavigation. Unfortunately medical issues will prevent him from doing so and the boat has been put up for sale..
