2000 Lyman-Morse 65 Pilothouse Sloop

SARAH JANE is a Ted Fontaine designed world cruiser built by Lyman-Morse and superbly finished by the craftsman at Dana Robes boatbuilder. She features a relatively heavy displacement and shoal draft centerboard configuration for exceptional sea kindliness and rare access to shallower cruising grounds given her board up draft of only 6’. Her powerful sail plan and deep centerboard enhance performance in all conditions. 

Commissioned to bring her owners and family around the world in safety and comfort, everything about the yacht is first class. Once aboard you quickly notice SARAH JANE is fit with equipment often found on much larger yachts. After spending many winters stored indoors, she is in excellent condition and has always been cared for by her Captain and Owner. 

SARAH JANE features a 3-cabin layout with teak joinery, walk-in engine and machinery area, and a spacious enclosed pilothouse area with comfortable seating for dining and great views all around. 

SARAH JANE is a proven bluewater yacht ready to go on her next adventure.
