Storyteller
About
Just reduced until she is winterized! Don't miss this opportunity!
Storyteller, a Manta 42 Mk IV, was built in the USA. She is designed to travel, and to get you there comfortably and safely. Her build is well thought out, and is described in detail below. Just a few highlights of that build are that her hull, below the waterline, is solid GRP construction with vinylester resin. Kevlar is additionally incorporated into the bow and keel areas for strength and rigidity. In the areas of thru-hulls, chainplates, and deck hardware, the construction is solid GRP. The hull above the waterline is cored with Divinycell while subsoles and bulkheads are cored with Nida-Core. These are expensive materials that don't allow moisture penetration and add to the life and continued safety of this design.
In other words, she protects you....and your investment.
Storyteller is a cruising veteran, and her strong point is that she is set up for anchoring out for long periods of time. She boasts 3, 370W solar panels that produce enough electricity to allow day to day electrical use including frig and freezer, plus using the watermaker ....without having to use the generator. She is self sufficient, and how lovely is that?
Storyteller has always been maintained and upgraded by owners who realize what a boat needs. She only needs personal provisioning and she's ready to go south this fall.
If you are looking to cruise this winter, now is the time to act. She's ready and waiting.
A few of her notable features are....
Only two owners and never chartered
All set for extended time away from marinas
Dinghy and Outboard included (Outboard is 20 HP Tohatsu with power tilt/electric start NEW in 2024)
Dodger and covers new in 2023
Drop curtains for the cockpit
Schaefer in-boom furling and Neil Pryde mainsail new in 2020
North Sails Jib new in 2023
Electronics - plotter, radar, autopilot and Sirius XM receiver new in 2022
3 x 370 W LG Solar Panels and 2 x Victron 100/50 Smartsolar charge controllers new in 2021
New watermaker membrane still packaged for spare 2024
