Broker's Comments
This a traditional beauty. I have seen photos of this boat in Hong Kong, the Philipines and Thailand. She has been everywhere. This is a beautiful traditional blue water cruiser. This particular Hudson Force 50 is nearing the end of a thorough refit and should soon be ready to depart on another circumnavigation under new ownership.
If you need space for family and friends, a solid long keel traditional boat that turns heads then this is the boat for you.
Details of this Hudson Ketch for sale in the Mediterranean are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
