Owner reports "She does not pound in chop and is a very comfortable ride if your sailing her right." Being a fin keel with spade rudder she turns on a dime and is easy to park. Boat is perfect for a family that wants to explore the Channel Islands, or a couple that wants to head anywhere! The way she is rigged currently with all lines leading aft she would be a great single handed boat!This listing has now been on the market a couple months.

Additional Equipment:
Current owner bought Tara in 2013. The previous owner bought her in 2009 and over a two year period accomplished a full refit.
The boat was brought to a bare hull and rebuilt from the ground up: Including the total rebuild of her interior, he dropped the keel and inspected the keel bolts and then resealed and set the keel again. She originally had non opening ports (the Plexi kind) so he filled the original holes with a blend of ''Hydra Teak and 11oz woven glass and then continued to beef up with layers of hydra teak to make the dog house a solid 1'' thick. He then bought new found metals opening ports and installed 4 on each side. The original anchor locker was very small and shallow so it was cut out and enlarged to accommodate adequate ground tackle. A custom stainless stem piece was made, which holds dual anchor rollers and an electric windlass (which has since been removed).
Much more work has been put into which was listed above.
