Ocean Roar

Asking price: $12,500

A Friendship Sloop with an interesting history: featured on two television commercials — for Zocor and Kleenex — and formerly owned by Senator Chris Dodd, who sailed her with his friend Ted Kennedy. A traditional gaff-rigged Friendship with triple headsails, topsail, and mainsail. Sleeps 4, cockpit for 8, mahogany planking on oak frames, and a 25 HP Westerbeke diesel. Stored in a dry barn for the last 5 years.
