History:

Sarah Abby III has had a very interesting history. We sold her to the current owners 12 years ago where she had been loving taken care of by a couple on the upper Chesapeake who owned a marina. The new owners at that time trucked her to Lake Stockton, Missouri where they sailed and prepared her for their planned Caribbean and beyond adventure, In 2015 they had her trucked to the Great Lakes were they explored Lake Michigan, Superior, Huron and Erie! Unfortunately when covid struck the St Lawrence Seaway was closed to pleasure traffic and their plans to sail out the St Lawrence where delayed and they lost their window of opportunity. They have made the tough decision to put her on the market, in 2023 they trucked her to the bay and have decided to bring her full circle back to Rock Hall, to Salt Yacht Brokerage.

Currently in the water at our Office in Rock Hall and available for viewing.

She represents a wonderful opportunity.
