Skol is a classic William Garden design with graceful sheerline, clipper bow, teak deck, solid fiberglas hull, full-length keel and keel hung rudder. Her 26 ton displacement, cockpit and pilothouse helms and fully enclosed dodger make her safe and dry in all conditions. In-boom furling (main and mizzen), electric winches, electric windlass and a bowthruster allow a cruising couple to handle her easily. The all teak interior has custom joinery, parquet cabin soles, oriental carpets, and marble countertops. Reverse cycle A/C and heat, a cast iron wood stove, hatches, portlights and cabin fans make her comfortable in warm or cold climates.

Skol is cruise ready and lovingly maintained. Electronics include Raymarine chartplotter/radar/GPS, ICOM 710 SSB radio, Oceanus VHF, Pactor modem, Raymarine autopilot, Probe forward-scanning depth sounder and Raymarine wind indicator and tridata. There are accommodations for 6 with 2 private cabins and ensuite heads. Very large refrigerator, freezer and pantry, 15 gal/hr watermaker and washer/dryer--plus a 5.5 kW generator to power them--allow for months of independent cruising without the need for reprovisioning or marina stays.

Skol is eye-catching: she has been named best-looking vessel at the San Diego Yacht Club and has been invited to participate in special events and boat parades.
