She’s ready to cruise.  You can sail her to the ports and islands of your own dreams. 
We built this beautiful boat in the Pacific Northwest, and lived aboard for many years, sailing her thru British Columbia’s Inside Passage, across Dixon Entrance to Southeast Alaska and out around Cape Ommaney to Sitka Sound.  In 2008, we sailed offshore, south to Cabo San Lucas, to winter in the Sea of Cortez.  Across the equator we navigated to French Polynesia and six months in those tropical blue lagoons.
Further south, S.V. Abrazo crossed thru the Roaring Forties to Concepcion, Chile, and south along that marvelous coastline to the Straits of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, Argentina.  Now, back in Puerto Montt, “Gateway to Patagonia” we’re ready to go back to a life on land and let Abrazo go. 
What charts do you long to explore?  Abrazo will catch the wind for you and fly!

  1. I was lucky to sail on Abrazo on the first leg of the journey down south from Bellingham to San Diego. What a beautiful sailing boat, Handling well on all points of sail. Amazing for a boat this sturdy and well built to be so fast and responsive. You will not find a better boat for this price.
