Arcadia is an excellent example of one of the finest performance cruisers ever built. She is well maintained, well equipped and exceptionally clean. Key features include a carbon fiber rig, a gleaming royal blue hull with teak toerails, and a varnished cherry interior with a two-stateroom, two-head layout. Arcadia has never been raced hard or taken South to the islands. She's been a New England boat where she has enjoyed short seasons and good care.
