Owner’s Comments and Boat History

I have taken great care to maintain the vessel properly, addressing ongoing maintenance needs proactively. The portlight “eyebrows” are a particularly appreciated feature, allowing the ports to remain open even in light rain. According to the previous owner, the vessel was originally owned briefly by a woman in Seattle before being sold to a California sailor who lived aboard for several years. During his ownership, he cruised extensively—from California down to Baja, onward to Panama, and through the Caribbean island chain—eventually bringing the yacht up the U.S. East Coast and ultimately to the British Virgin Islands. Prior to being renamed Longevity, the vessel was known as Leprechaun.

In 2000, friends of mine purchased the yacht in partnership with three other couples, gradually acquiring the remaining shares over time. My late husband and I began visiting them aboard Longevity in 2011. In 2023, I entered into a partnership with the then–co-owner. I am now the sole owner.

Longevity is exceptionally comfortable under sail, with a notably sea-kindly motion. Her expansive cockpit enhances both cruising enjoyment and onboard living. Numerous portlights and hatches provide excellent ventilation, keeping the interior cool in warm climates. The tub offers a generously sized showering area as well as a practical utility basin for rinsing wetsuits and other gear.
