Ladyhawke....
Where to begin...
This well respected center cockpit design by Robert Perry can take you anywhere your cruising dreams may go. She has cruised north and south and is ready to leave the dock tomorrow.
The design and beauty of this boat is the basis for Ladyhawke, but her owners, since 1998, make all the difference. She is loved by knowledgeable owners who have spared no expense in keeping her in the best possible condition because, they cruised her and know the importance of a well kept boat.

She will not last.
Accommodations
Ladyhawke was designed by one of the greats. Robert Perry is known for beautiful boats that sail well and provide comfort and safety to her owners. This center cockpit design is well thought out and is additionally desirable because of her livability.
Starting forward is the guest cabin with large V-berth, overhead hatch for light and ventilation and lots of storage. Storage cabinets flank either side and directly aft your guests will find the day head to port and a spacious hanging locker to starboard.
The stunning main salon is next aft. A "C" shaped dinette is to port and a straight settee to starboard. The fabric is cream colored and easily maintained. The starboard settee converts to bunks, using stainless steel rods to hold the upper bunk alowing it to feel secure.
To port of the companionway is the galley and to starboard is the nav station.
Aft of the nav station is the walk through to the aft cabin. This is where the access (great, by the way) to the engine is. The engine room allows access to everything. The genset is located outboard of this walk through and is mounted at a height that allows easy maintainence.
Further aft is the owner's private cabin with queensize plus bed, private head with separate stall shower, lots of storage and vanity.
- Reverse Cycle Heat and Air while at the dock or anchor
- Upholestry recovered in the main salon and looks brand new.
- Very comfortable for two or for entertaining

Galley
Ladyhawke's "U" shaped galley is to port of the companionway and offers a safe place to prepare meals when underway. Additionally, there is counterspace and storage and some well thought out additions not usually seen.
- Two deck prisims located over the stove and counter area provide natural light. That is such a wonderful idea. The galley doesn't feel dark and isolated.

Deck and Hull
Ladyhawke shows like a new boat. She sparkles! Her teak is finished, her nonskid has been replaced, she has been Awlgripped both on deck and hull, and her stainless (very good quality to begin with) shines. You just would not believe her age.

Additional Information
Twenty One Years Ago Ladyhawke suffered a secondary lightning strike, the mega yacht next to them taking the direct hit.
All electronics were replaced and, a year later, blisters around several of the thru-hulls were noticed.
The owners had those thru-hulls replaced with Groco Bronze Thru-Hulls and the fiberglass was fixed around them, as well.
That was 21 years ago and there have been no lingering problems all these years later.
