Description: |
The "Asato Maru", whose name is inspired by a traditional Japanese term pertaining to an offering of safe travels and a successful return, is a classic offshore Alberg 37. It is listed in several books as one of the best vessels for offshore cruising. Although, not fast or roomy by today's standards, the Alberg 37's full keels and moderate sail plans are coveted by offshore sailors. Being heavy built, they may take a bit of wind to get going, but once underway, are stiff and sea kindly. The "Asato Maru" has undergone many renovations to be a great choice for many. To list a few: deck paint, boom, sails, monitor wind vane, VHF, SSB, autopilot, chart plotter, radar, fish finder, Maretron systems monitor, rebuild of the 1994 Yanmar diesel, water and waste tanks, wind generator, voltage regulator, dodger, house batteries, starting batteries and a new bimini. Having traveled everywhere from intercostal Florida to the Bahamas, this vessel is ready for your next adventure. |
