Owner's Comments
Owner's Comments 12/2025:
Sailboat Sales sold Ambitious brand new to her first owners in 1978. They were very conscientious, maintenance focused and sailed off a mooring in Monroe St Harbor, mostly daysailing but some cruising too.
The next owners, from 1983 to 2021, also sailed out of Monroe Street, also extremely maintenance focused, mostly daysailing with some short range cruising. The decks, topsides, bottom and belowdecks have all been kept in very good condition.
She’s a very dry, well-found boat ready to provide her next owners with much on the water happiness. Presently in storage, shrink wrapped with zipper door access.
