BROKER’S COMMENTS

Etesian is a true blue water cruiser , extremely strong and reliable  construction . Her shape and her look  fulfil and gratify  any classic yacht lover’s  desire of beuty and harmony and John Alden’s  powerful lines are a statement of seaworthiness. This yacht has been fitted and equipped with the very best devices and outfits . The actual owner used the boat very seldom in the last few years as he owns also a much bigger yacht , but maintenances and care have been spared anyway, and on the other way, sails, engines, machinery and structures have not been stressed .

In a next future there could be need of a new teak deck.
