Irwin 31 Centerboard Yawl, 1968 sailboat for sale

Savoir Faire is an affordable classic. This tall rig, shoal draft centerboard yawl is an honest, solid, safe and comfortable cruiser. Getting into those picturesque, but shallow anchorages is no problem with her 3’ 4” board up draft. The yawl rig adds flexibility to her sail plan and the mizzen holds her head-to-wind while at anchor. No sailing around the anchor at night with the subsequent jerk of the rode to disturb you. The bright and airy cabin trimmed in teak is an accommodation worthy of the name with v-berth forward, a convertible dinette midships and two quarter berths port and starboard aft. Her updated and well maintained systems and low hour auxiliary diesel will provide years of trouble-free cruising. Savvy is presently lying in Forked River, NJ on the Barnegat Bay. Truely a boat that is wonderful to behold and to be on.
