Overview

PRELIMINARY LISTING - SUBJECT TO OWNER REVIEW AND CHANGES!

  • The following categories and systems updates are as follows:
  • Total rewiring of the entire AC & DC systems, including full monitoring of the entire boat by PLC screens in the pilothouse.
  • Updated electronics, incl. Garmin Nav System, Starlink, Gost Security, Dockmate, Glendenning engine controls, plus much more.
  • Complete update of all galley equipment.
  • Salon soft goods update including blinds and carpet.
  • Walker Bay dinghy with 40 HP Honda

  • Large inventory of valuable spares for long term cruising, which are cataloged on the PLC monitoring system.

Note: Buyers have read in listings before: "Ready to go cruising now" and found that statement untrue, but "Candide “truly is the exception and is absolutely ready to depart on a long- term cruise, today!! Do not let the age of the yacht discourage you, as the vessel will perform better than much newer vessels in the category.
