Description
Isabelle was designed to be a "gentleman's racer." She was restored and renamed Isabelle because she is, Queen of The Lake. She blends together good livability and a sea kindly motion, with a well performing hull and rig combination that can be single or shorthanded. She has a distinct look that turns heads and invites inquiries and compliments when she enters a harbor or is at dock. She is extremely safe even in inclement weather. Isabelle has had 4 owners and moved to the cold, clean, freshwaters of Lake Michigan after she raced from Rhode Island to Bermuda her first year.
This beauty also has been in several Mac races when she was formally, 'Tomahawk.'
Accommodations
With a varnished mahogany interior with white overhead, and a teak and holly cabin sole, “Isabelle” has the warmth and appeal of a classic yacht.
The forward cabin has a traditional vee berth with port & starboard shelves, drawers and hanging lockers.
The head is to port with a manual head & holding tank, pressure water, sink & countertop, mirror, handheld shower, fiberglass shower pan, cabinet and storage shelves, and opening port w/screen plus a Dorade vent.
The salon’s starboard and port settees slide out to make comfortable single berths with storage behind and pilot berths outboard. Good light and ventilation are provided by multiple stainless steel opening ports w/screens, Dorade vents, screened deck hatches, and the companionway. The interior grab rails make movement below decks safe and secure in a seaway.
The outboard facing navigation station is to port at the base of the companionway. There are additional storage drawers under and cabinet outboard.
Galley
The U-shaped galley across the aft end of the main cabin has double stainless steel sinks with hot and cold pressure water, a 6 gallon, 110v AC/engine heated hot water heater, a large, insulated ice box that has been converted to Adler Barbour refrigeration, and a gimbaled Origo 3000 alcohol stove.
