Remarks
Virginia Dare (hull # 192 of 219 built) is in exceptional condition, (no pets or smoking) meticulously cared for and maintained by the past owner for the first 9 years and now by the current owner. During the first 9 years she was sailed mostly on weekends in the northern Chesapeake Bay and on the hard for the winter covered with a custom canvas cover. She was very lightly used and in perfect condition as evidenced by the survey dated 28 June 2011, a copy is available for your review, when we purchased her in 2011
Christine and I purchased Virginia Dare on 7 July 2011 with the intention of full time cruising on the east coast and the eastern Caribbean. She was not equipped for cruising as she was mainly sailed on weekends from marina to marina. We devoted 9 months equipping her with the necessary gear; 3.5 Kw generator, 400w wind generator, new Lifeline AGM batteries, WxWorx satellite weather receiver, complete new plumbing in the head with macerator pump to empty the holding tank, WiFi antenna with wireless LAN, clock and barometer, Personal Locating Device, all sails and rigging inspected with new Sunbrella covers, total and complete clean, polish and wax exterior, fresh bottom paint, every detail was covered both cosmetically and mechanical. Virginia Dare has very little wear and appears close to new condition above decks, below decks and mechanically.
We have completed our cruising plans. She is fully equipped and ready to cruise, just bring your personal gear and begin enjoying this wonderful Hallberg-Rassy yacht.
