FIRST CHOICE IS NOT A WAUQUIEZ CHARTER MODEL. Not only has she never been in charter, she is a 3 stateroom model. The single owner took delivery of her new after requesting and given the freedom for manu cutom upgrades and modifications from Henri Wauquiez. One of which was the 6'8" custom design keel so she could be cruised and raced on Texas offshore waters with her swift 72PHRF rating. Her quickness does not compromise her custom cruising qualities nor the ruggedness of her solid glass hull. From '89-'01 the owner sailed around the world and returned to Trinidad to begin her $100,00+ complete refit, later finished at her home in Texas. Nothing was spared and she lies ready to set out and go around agian. See spec sheet for complete details including new teak decks, topsides and cabin house paint, mast, standing and running rigging. AC, electronics, sails and more.
