OWNER's COMMENTS

Second Sun has just completed a 4 year cruise spanning three oceans. She is the perfect vessel for a family looking for safety, comfort and adventure. The current owners decided to pause their cruising so their kids, raised on the boat, can attend high school in person. The owner is a professional captain and the boat has been well maintained. Though they will be sad to see the her go, they would rather see Second Sun continue her adventure with a new owner while she is still in top form and all of her safety and cruising gear is still up to date. While maintenance is an ongoing challenge on any boat, Second Sun is a turnkey cruiser, ready to head out to sea.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Throughout: Rich teak interior marked by high quality joinery and custom carving. Teak & holly sole - refinished in 2023. The white painted overheads give a bright feeling to the interior. The seventeen(!) opening ports and three opening hatches provide ample airflow and cross-ventilation. LED courtesy lighting. Eight Caframo fans. Lee-cloths

Walking through the interior from bow to stern starts with the forward double cabin. The cabin has a pullman berth to starboard with aa (upgraded in 2026) custom mattress.. To port is a desk next to the berth and several storage lockers and closets. Overhead there is a generous teak hatch rebuilt in 2022 and two opening portlights. Just aft of the forward cabin, to port, is a large storage locker and set of drawers. Across the hall is a head with separate shower stall. A teak butterfly hatch over the hall and shower provides ample light to the interior spaces. Aft of the head is a “Library” with bookshelves and a chart desk with storage for charts. Across from the library is a custom built, enclosed, bunk cabin with two full size over/under bunks, drawers and shelves. The shipwright who installed the cabin took pains to match the style of the original interior.

Up three steps from the forward section is the spacious pilothouse cabin. Large deadlights and opening portlights provide clear views of your surroundings. All of the glass has been been replaced with new tempered safety glass. There’s an L-shaped galley to starboard across from a Helm Station forward of an L-shaped dinette. The entire floor comes up to provide ample access to the engine and other machinery hidden below. Teak spiral stairs beside the galley lead to the cockpit. The companionway exits through two louvered teak doors and a sliding hatch with seahood. The doors can be replaced with custom made stainless steel bars to secure the cabin in hot climates.

Continuing aft, take two steps down to the master cabin. The master cabin features a double pullman berth to starboard with a custom mattress (new in 2022) and an en-suite head. The toilet in this cabin has been removed and replaced by a washer/dryer.
