This 1978 Bombay Clipper "Legato" has been loved and meticulously cared for by the original owner for 42 years. He's aging out and as much as he hates to let her go, it's time for a new home and the next chapter in this boats life. Always fresh water and lightly used for the short Northern Michigan summers. She has been winter stored indoors and professionally maintained her whole life. With many upgrades and add-ons over the years, this boat is ready to splash, cruise and enjoy! The Bombay Clipper was designed by Walt Scott who had sailed all over the Eastern seaboard from Maine to the Bahamas. He is quoted as saying, "it really turned out well. I am delighted with the boats performance. The builders are using first-rate hardware throughout. As a matter of fact, they are equipping the boat with rigging that is even heavier than what I specified. To me, that says a lot about their interest in the customer's safety and dedication to building an honest product." It's rare to find a boat of this age in the excellent condition she is in.
