Juniper, a 1983 Pearson 424 C-Plan Ketch Bluewater cruiser, blends classic William Shaw design and rock-solid Pearson fiberglass construction with a complete systems refit and a sail plan that's very easy to handle short-handed.
Her current owners have sailed her extensively and upgraded her stem-to-stern with safety, redundancy, and autonomy in mind. She is outfitted to be completely off-grid, including a new Climma air conditioner designed for battery power.
