Step aboard 'Tip Toes, ' a remarkable Benford 34 junk rig schooner launched in 2004, mirroring the esteemed craftsmanship of its sister ship, 'Badger. ' A beacon of both historical allure and contemporary enhancements, 'Tip Toes' has undergone extensive updates since 2021, including new sails, a Mantus II anchor, and lithium batteries. Presently moored in Chaguaramas, Trinidad, she's preparing for her journey to Martinique. With over 8,000 nautical miles logged post-upgrade, this schooner promises an exemplary blend of tradition and modern amenities for the avid sailor. Available for $39,000 USD, 'Tip Toes' is ready for new adventures with a captain eager to chart her next course. The current owners intend to return to the boat in November which can make for easy handover.
