DESCRIPTION

Arbutus is an 11 metre aluminium monohull who has just completed her first circumnavigation (June 2013 – June 2020). She currently occupies a long term berth at Port Leucate, France. Arbutus has a cozy interior of wooden furnishings, a spacious forward cabin and smaller central cabin, two entrances, including a “wet” area to remove your wet clothing before entering the galley and saloon. Arbutus boasts a lifting keel for canal and river navigation and when completely lifted she can even beach. The central cockpit provides comfort and security during passages in any weather conditions. The saloon is located at the stern and when you are seated you have a 270 ° view through 6 large rectangular windows. You can be completely self-sufficient for weeks, even months with a large solar bank, lithium batteries, and watermaker. She is well equipped for comfort and safety for her next great adventure, canal cruise, or coastal sailing.
