A fine example of this popular American cruising yacht.  In excellent overall condition and fully equipped for liveaboard blue water sailing.

'S/V Consort' is currently located in the beautiful Guatemalan Rio Dulce and she will be sailed up to Florida in March 2013 if not previously sold.  During the last 7 years the current owners have sailed 14,000 miles to all corners of the Caribbean including South and Central America.

The present owners have invested much time and money maintaining and improving this yacht during their 7 year ownership. Consort is ready to cruise anywhere in the world, and with her 8KVa Kohler generator, 630 AHr battery bank (new 2012), Fourwinds generators, solar panels, and heavy duty watermaker she is perfectly equipped to operate far away from shore-side support.
