Description

Financing Available

Liberte is a stunning example of the early days of yachting. I'm told she is one of only eight still in existence. Liberte benefits from living in a covered slip in the Annapolis area. She is in the water and fully commissioned...ready to go. Enjoy modern power, strong generator, reverse cycle air conditioning, new GPS, and the new Espar heater, and the elegance of a bygone era.....
