Designed by by the renowned Eldredge-McInnis, specifically for extended cruising, LADY JADE was is a one of the finest pedigree wooden yachts on the Bay. She was custom built of solid teak (almost unheard of even then and prohibitively expensive today) in British Hong Kong by American Marine (later made famous for building the classic Grand Banks and Grand Alaskans). She has logged an estimated 130,000 miles sailing the South Pacific, Mexico and Alaska and has been refit at regular intervals over the years.

From 2019 - 2021, she underwent a major restoration with over $160,000 invested and is now being sold due to unforeseen family circumstances. This is an incredible opportunity to own one of the most capable and comfortable classic yachts of this era. She is ready for a new, loving steward, who is looking for either a blue-water proven craft for long-term cruising, a full-amenity live-aboard, a breathtaking Bay-cruiser, or a proven group charter. Owner will accept payment in USD or crypto currencies.
