“Shirker” is a well-equipped and cared-for example of these solidly built blue water cruisers. She benefited from an extensive refit in 2012 (including new engine / stern gear and hull epoxied) and further improvements under her current owners. Documentation includes the original registration document and full ownership history. She has made two transatlantic passages, demonstrating the seafaring capabilities of this modern cruising classic.
