Owners Comments

Owners Comments:

Imported by the US Dealer and was the show boat for Grand Soleil at the 2003 Annapolis Boat Show.

Purchased by the current and original owners in California in 2004, she was delivered by truck to WA State and then sailed to Alaska where we lived. This yacht was cruised in South East Alaska and occasionally raced with the Seward Yacht Club.

Lehua has mostly been sailed by us, an experienced sailing couple with guests and family joining us from time to time. We have sailed between Washington and Alaska four times with enjoyable passages and heavy weather. Never did we feel uncomfortable with the boat's sailing characteristics or unsafe while sailing her in open water. She has always taken good care of us.

Lehua is a fast cruisier, comfortable, easy to sail and always gets lots of attention in the marinas and anchorages with people admiring her and asking what kind of boat she is.

If you are looking for the almost perfect blend of speed, good looks, comfort and safety, you cannot go wrong with Lehua. For us, she was the perfect boat.

Additional information:

We also have the full winter deck cover in the same Sunbrella canvas. The three blade prop is a Flex-O-Fold. We have a total of three plotters: Two are the ones that display and overlay with radar, one cockpit mounted and one at nav station below. The third is the Raymarine digital
ae 68 added in 2014 with the AIS and it’s own GPS. So there is total redundancy with the plotters.
