Taken from 'New Boats of the Year'

The owners stated requirements called for a fast, handsome cruiser with comfortable accommodation for six, plus one paid deck hand, ample food stowage spage and tankage and also a refridgerator.In comparison with many modern ocean racers, Baccante is very spacious below decks. Both cooking and navigation duties are carried out in the light and airy doghouse. Ventilation was particularly studied, with 4 electric exhaust fans in the heads,galley, engine compartment and drawing air from the bilges past the refrigerator cooling fins.

The boat has proved herself to be very easily handled, thanks in no small measure to the two large and comfortable cockpits.In hard weather season she has been found notably dry in a seaway and easily controlled at all times.

Actually she is a dreamboat. Lying in Greece awaiting her new owners to make the dream come true.

This is her current condition, much of the work has been done, but not all by any means.
