Brokers Comments
I am fortunate to say that I have had the opportunity to own this beautiful boat. “Running On Empty” is a gorgeous example of a custom center cockpit and her bluewater capabilities have already been proven. The interior is beautiful with hand-fitted joinery of various woods and her gorgeous appearance whether at the dock or underway, will turn heads. A true, proven, and capable bluewater sailboat “Running On Empty” only needs your personal gear and she is ready for the next adventure. Since 2013 she has consistently had upgraded systems and all maintenance kept up. I have sailed her extensively to many destinations with thousands of safe trouble-free miles. She is the only Custom steel Schooner on the market currently and a must to see if you’re in the market for a sail away vessel.
