Bennett Brothers Bruce Marek Design Sloop

REDUCED $30k.  NOW PRICED $70k BELOW SURVEY VALUE

TSURU  is one of the finest examples of a quality, American built, contemporary performance cruising yacht built in the past 15 years. Bruce Marek, her talented designer, combined all the elements that a modern cruising yacht should offer: superior strength and workmanship, spacious, well-appointed interior accommodations, and greater speed with less effort. She is designed for fast passages and will accommodate both racing and cruising enthusiasts.  TSURU's builder, Bennett Brothers Yachts, of Wilmington, NC, has a well-earned reputation for building beautiful custom yachts.

The extraordinary attention to detail is evident in all phases of her construction and her quality compares with the finest yachts built anywhere in the world. Coupled with her $107k factory refit completed in 2007 to her New Awlgrip paint completed in 2013, she is truly a must-see for any potential performance cruising yacht buyer.

TSURU's layout includes two staterooms and two heads with showers and a large comfortable main salon, navigation station and galley.  The interior woodwork is hand picked cherry with satin varnish finish with gloss varnished fiddles and grabrails. The cabin sole is varnished teak and holly. Counters are Corian surfaces and the overhead and under-decks are Ultra-suede.  All upholstery was completed by LeBlanc Custom Canvas.

Generator, reverse cycle air conditioning, holding plate refrigeration, highlight a long list of options and upgrades that make her a pleasure to sail in maximum comfort.

 Starting from the bow is the anchor locker with watertight bulkhead, followed by the Master Cabin with ensuite head with separate stall shower.  The master cabin includes an oversized double berth with shelves above and two drawers under.  Opposite the double is a vanity, and two large hanging lockers (one with shelves).

 The Main Salon is amidships with large spacious U-shaped settee that seats 6 persons with drop down dining table that converts to a double berth to port.  To starboard is a straight settee that pulls out to create a large single berth with lee cloth.  Outboard of each salon settee are two lockers with shelf between and additional storage behind the backrests. The built-in entertainment center is located above and outboard of the starboard settee.

 Aft of the starboard settee is a large Navigation Station with wide table, flush mounted electronics, book shelf and custom file cabinet for all manuals.  She has been recently updated with Raymarine E120 Electronics Package to augment her existing full Raymarine package and extensive communications equipment.  

Aft of the navigation station is the Guest Cabin with a wide double berth, drawers, storage cabinets and lockers. 

Opposite the navigation center and guest cabin entry door is the second head, which also has a shower.  The galley, second head, navigation area and guest cabin are all aft of amidships and are close to the companionway which is a real advantage when sailing offshore and/or shorthanded.

The entertainment system includes flat panel TV (2010) and new Fusion Stereo, new cocckpit speakers and new Fusion helmside remote (2014).
