"Whisper" is a single owner Sparkman & Stevens 50. Custom built for a demanding owner, no expense was spared to create a comfortable cruising yacht for a family, while she remains a strong and fast ocean going vessel. She is a double spreader cutter rigged vessel. Her three stateroom layout leaves plenty of room for a formal leather upholstered salon. The galley, forward of the salon, is equipped for serious cooking with her four-burner stove and stand up refrigerator/freezer. The master stateroom aft is elegant and seaworthy right down to the etched glass portholes. On deck Whisper is truely a yacht. Just enough teak to make sure she shines. She has a teak toerail and beautiful teak combing in the cockpit. Her electric primary winches make her an excellent short handed yacht as well. If you are looking for an offshore cruiser to go around the world in or an exquisite yacht for local cruising this S&S is well worth a look.
