5.5 kw NextGen generator, cockpit enclosure; sun awning; chain plates; standing and running rigging replaced; new halyards; oversize winches; complete electrical upgrade with added circuits and more. The teak decks have been removed
Ragamuffin appears at first to be a CT54 but is considerably bigger than a 1975 model and is noticeably different and slightly larger than a 1983. She had a lead extension of 18 inches added to her keel, making her much better going to weather.
The owner operators have raced her in numerous yacht races and she has done surprisingly well .
While Ragamuffin is the perfect live-aboard cruiser, the owners have used her as a Crewed Charter Yacht for the last 12 years and are now working as a Bed and Breakfast in the Virgin Islands..
She is in ready to move aboard condition
