S/V Waterdancer has been our life, our home for 10 years.
She has served us reliably from the first day we bought her and never let us down.
Her sea punching power with the 66HP Turbo Yanmar has ensured that we always reached our destination.
She accomodates 9 sleeping berths and is a very comfortable sailor.

Her Wing keel ensures smooth and fast sailing and motoring, and in a punch we have been able to motorsail 8.5 knots to safe harbors without any problems.
Because I singlehand a lot I had New England Bow Thruster professionally install a thruster. They are always available should there a need arise for servicing
A inboard Cetrex Auto Pilot keeps her on track so we do mostly hands-off sailing.

The Trusty Generator has kept us warm and cold should we decide to anchor in some extreme conditions, although plenty of hatches usually provide us with plenty of venting,
and the inverter with its separate battery keep fans running all night.

She accommodates 9 and is a great sailor.

Her sailing speed is 6.8 knots and she can motor up to 8 knots.
