TAO is equipped for long-distance voyaging with a large 72 m2 dacron mainsail and 3 headsails including furling genoa, furling screecher, and spinnaker. All of the standing rigging was just replaced in August 2023 (new shrouds, diamonds, and headstay). Her onboard amenities are powered by 1000 watts of solar, a 3.5 Mastervolt generator, and high-output engine alternators. Amenities include a dual power AC/DC water-maker, washer/dryer, a very large 200L fridge, and 100L freezer. TAO is a proven blue-water cat that has taken its owners to the South Pacific and back.
