So, you want to have the prettiest girl at the dance? Well, here she is!
Down Easy is a custom picnic styled re-fit derived from the notorious and somewhat cultish Wilbur Yachts 34. Originally designed by renowned greats, Lee Wilbur and Ralph Ellis, her hull has a long, proven pedigree among true Downeast enthusiasts. She has been featured in articles and trade shows as a one-off exemplary in craftsmanship, creative liberties, and attention to detail. While her stance is traditional and classic, careful and deliberate steps were taken in radiusing original hard lines, removing the fly bridge, opening the rear bulkhead, and accentuating her best features.
She’s a bit of a contradictory of sorts:
She’s simple, yet elegant. She looks good at the dock, but a real performer at sea. She’s comfortable, yet spartan. she’s a stunner, but not high maintenance. She has just the right amount of flair, just the right amount of varnish, just the right amount of systems, and just the right amount of accommodations.
Down Easy has had a few great stewards over the years, Each one has updated her to a higher standard including this Seller who had her recently Awlgripped, new non-skid, canvas, etc.. She really is a sweetheart of a boat; quiet, comfortable at any speed, great in a seaway, and a fantastic platform for piling on the family for a day or a weekend adventure. She even hosted a small wedding aboard in Casa Bay a season ago……. charter opportunity?
She’s currently out of water and won’t disappoint.
Down Easy is being offered at $249,000 and is located in Freeport, Maine. Contact Jim McAuliffe at (207)252-2737 or email Jim@dimillos.com to schedule a showing.
