Recent Survey available for a serious Buyer
2008 Carry Lite 6X12 single axle Box Trailer, with recently replaced wheel bearings - possibly for sale (presently full of years’ worth of spare parts and gear)
Extensively raced and cruised East Coast boat in the same family for over 35 years – a dozen Newport to Bermuda races, several Annapolis to Newport races, many winters in the Caribbean, and summers in New England. She was recently brought to the Great Lakes (on her own bottom), where her upgrades, racing, and cruising life have continued. The crew and I love the boat, but my wife says she is too big, so we are reluctantly putting her up for sale. Fantastic opportunity to own a piece of history and one of the finest S&S-designed, Nautor Swan-built 47s available in the world.
