DRUNKEN PARROT is a special boat with lots of recent upgrades. I sold the boat to the current owners in early 2019. After three months in the yard, new paint, new bottom and many other upgrades she was sailed to St Croix, USVI. The owner’s plans have been interrupted and she is back on the market in a much-improved state. The Transpac 49 is a big solid, powerful distance cruiser. She has an abundant amount of storage and living space below. As a ketch she has numerous options regarding sail plan and very manageable for a couple to sail anywhere their imagination takes them.
