The Peterson-designed 48 has very long legs, allowing for 200 nm days on passage while maintaining a seakindly motion thanks to her overhangs and deep keel.
Down below, you will find an elegantly crafted sanctuary in teak, that offers comfort at anchor or underway. Plentiful handholds, a proper nav station, good sea berths and a large galley with plenty of storage. This would be a fantastic boat for a family of 5 to spend a summer (or more) aboard for a cruising sabbatical!
Offered on a lease-to-own basis on behalf of her owner (Mass Maritime academy) allowing for the purchase price to be spread out over a 3-year period. Contact the listing broker for complete details or to arrange a showing!
