SEAWORTHY is an excellent example of the popular Eastbay 38. The Ray Hunt design combined with the excellent Grand Banks build quality led to a timeless look and feel that makes these yachts very sought after. SEAWORTHY is owned by an experienced couple that are world class yachtsmen and sailors, having owned previously a Fleming motoryacht and several race yachts, plus being a Past Commodore of the Annapolis Yacht Club and Past President of BOAT US. You will find this Eastbay 38 to be in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition as well as being regularly upgraded. SEAWORTHY's past owners have maintained her in impeccable shape as well, including the first owner that had her commissioned on the Great Lakes, where she was kept in fresh water and used seasonally. Powered by twin Volvo Penta TAMD 63 diesel engines with 830 original hours this is an excellent power package for the Eastbay 38. Better fuel burn than Cats and fewer maintenance requirements lead to a durable, economical power plant. Central Listing Agent Erik Haaland (410) 279-3027 erik@davidwaltersyachts.com

Set Sail for Paradise: Exploring Rab Island, Croatia Croatia's Adriatic coast is a sailor's playground, and Rab Island shines brightly within it. Imagine this: crystal-clear waters lapping against your sailboat, the scent of pine clinging to the air, and charming medieval towns waiting to be explored. That's Rab in a nutshell. This island, often called the "Happy Island," offers more than just stunning scenery. So, raise the anchor and get ready for an unforgettable sailing adventure on Rab. Island Bliss: Unveiling Rab's Gems Medieval Marvels: Rab Town, the island's crown jewel, boasts a maze of narrow streets lined with Venetian-influenced buildings. Four iconic church towers pierce the skyline, remnants of a rich history. Wander through the town walls, peek into art galleries, and soak up the atmosphere. Beach Bonanza: Rab caters to every beach bum. Sunbathe on the expansive sands of Paradise Beach in Lopar, or discover hidden coves along the island's rugged coastline. For something unique, visit the naturist beach at Sahara, one of the first in Europe. Natural Delights: Venture inland to discover Rab's wild side. Hike the Kamenjak peninsula for panoramic views, or explore the Dundo Forest, a fragrant haven of Aleppo pines. Keep an eye out for rare birds and butterflies fluttering through the lush greenery. Sailing Sensations The beauty of Rab truly unfolds from the water. Navigate the calm channels between the island and mainland, or set sail for nearby islets like Maun and Sveta Grgur. These secluded spots offer pristine beaches and a chance to commune with nature.

Wash it all down with a glass of the island's renowned grape brandy, "rakija." Festival Fun: Immerse yourself in Rab's vibrant culture. Join the Rab Fair in July, a medieval spectacle with costumed characters and traditional music. For something livelier, the Rab "Fjere" festival in August features street performers and open-air concerts.
