Shoshana is a beautiful, very recently refinished Ketch-Cutter. Turn key and ready to go! She is a very classic looking, eye catching, compliment collecting beauty. She was made in 1965 in the Cheoy Lee Shipyards in Hong Kong.

I have been patient and put a lot of sweat, effort and money into making her a world class sailboat over the last couple years. I have done almost all of the work myself. Anything that I haven't done, I have the receipts for.

She sails wonderfully. If you have never sailed a ketch, it's easy. If you have, then you know. The mizzen is a great steering balance and the main and jibs give her great blue water sailing advantages with tons of sail space. She is set and sails single handedly or loves a party. She is very roomy and comfortable for a 31' boat.
