Description

Note reduced. Offers considered.
Argonauta is a Gib Sea 422 sailing boat. She is perfect for family cruising offering spacious and light accommodation both inside and out, with a large shady Bimini for the sun and an enclosed cockpit tent for the colder weather.
We have lived aboard Argonauta for 8 years and change in circumstances has forced the sale.
Argonauta is equipped with roller reefing foresail and in mast reefed mainsail, both led to the cockpit which make handling the boat easily manageable and safe for one person alone on deck for longer sails, or for getting family more "hands on"
A black water tank and large water storage tanks allow for extended stays on board.
Argonauta is very well equipped with additional sails, 6 person life raft (service required) , dinghy, 2 outboards, one for longer rougher trips to shore, wind steering, wind and water generated, VHF &DSC radio, repeater in the cockpit, NASA weatherman and Navtex receiver, Tac Tic wireless instruments wind, echo, log . Solar panels
Lots more features and equipment is included to help cruising or living aboard both safe and comfortable.
Please do ask for further details if you are interested.
