Traveller's Story
Designed by Bruce Farr and launched at a time where production boats were truly overbuilt, she was delivered by ship to Chicago where she remained in the cold clear FRESH waters of the Great Lakes used primarily as a weekender and daysailor. She came from the factory with 2 ensuite staterooms aft and a single master stateroom forward with separate head and shower along with two vanities and sinks. We found her in 2021 and knew right away that she was the boat take our family of four around the world and set about to update and equip her for the journey.
Fully upfit from 2021 to 2023, Traveller is now the quintessential turn-key, world-cruiser for a single-hander, couple or family looking for a safe and comfortable fast passagemaker which also offers big living space and off-grid comfort. Her systems are simple, oversized and reliable - giving us confidence over long passages, in faraway places, or when the weather takes a turn. She's carried us more than 15k miles through conditions ranging from heavy seas to smooth tradewind sailing without serious issue. She's a fast boat which can be fun when seeking bragging rights, but really comes in handy when conditions are rough. Not only can we get ahead of bad weather, but we can run conservatively and comfortably while still making great passage times.
