Quo Vadis II was built as a west coast troller for rugged offshore fishing but was not finished.  She was lovingly rebuilt in 1985 for the current owners as a yacht with new decks, beams, cabin and transom.  Her interior is both beautiful and functional with varnished mahogany cabinetry and cabin soles.   Since then, the owners have cruised her extensively as far afield as Mexico and Hawaii.
 

Loving care by the owners, Jespersen Boat Builders, and more recently by Abernathy and Gaudin as reflected in a recent survey.  Noted as “well suited to coastal and offshore sailing”.  

$110,000 in recent investment. Extensive updating in 2018 in preparation for more offshore cruising – new rigging, chainplates, spreaders and bowsprit. Electrics and decks redone in 2014 plus hull updated in 2024.
