Destiny: A well cared for 1977 C.E. Ryder Sea Sprite 23 Weekender that underwent a full restoration in 2017, and has had many upgrades to enhance her performance under sail and her convenience as a single handed pocket cruiser/racer.

Sailing conveniences include stainless self-tailing winches, roller furling headsails, two headsails (110 Jib, 135 Genoa), separate jib tracks and cars for each headsail (to optimize headsail sheeting), main sheet block and traveler on aft deck. Lazy jack system and jiffy reefing points allow for simple mainsail management.

Professionally refinished by Bristol Marine in 2017 in a gorgeous Aristo Blue paint, yacht like cream decks, gold cove stripe, and red bottom paint make this boat a real head turner. All teak was also professionally restored, and is in excellent condition. Toe rails were removed and re-bedded in 2013.  

A custom  winter cover built by Kinder Industries in 2015 is also included.  New navy blue sunbrella cockpit cushions with white piping added in 2010 for comfort and style, and a matching sailcover from Quantum make this boat look like a proper yacht while at mooring.
