A sturdy longkeeled offshore cruiser. That how she was marketed back in the 1980’s. She was designed by Peter Ibold for long distance cruising.  As once described:

From the tip of her plank bowsprit to her sawn-off elliptical transom, she certainly looks the part of a powerful offshore cruiser. There are no concessions, or pretensions, to prettiness in the profile she presents; rather, it is the air of purpose generated by the angular doghouse, high freeboard, clipper bow and semi-flush decks, which makes her attractive to discerning yachtsmen. She is no one’s idea of a racer, she looks the kind of a yacht which would ride out an Atlantic gale as happily as carry the family across the Channel.

What more can I say. If you are seriously thinking of leaving the word’s financial turmoil behind and go cruising, here is your chance.
