These boats are made in the USA and are customizable.
The Legacy 5M Adventure Craft has a wider, more stable platform, and a better sail/ row combination in a two-man boat. Available in full Carbon Fiber Build (95 lbs), or in hand-laid Fiberglass (120 lbs) pick-up weight (with monorail out). With a Self- Draining Cockpit she can rest on a mooring and rainwater passes through. Or, tackle the roughest seas. An enclosed bow serves to keep all of the gear dry. And the massive floatation makes her unsinkable. Even if you try, she pops up high and dry.
Features
She has higher sides than a Heritage, and a wide rolled topside gunnel for comfortable sitting when hiking out. The sail package (Optional) is a wonderfully simple Boom-less Marconi rig. She utilizes a light, pick-up daggerboard in a centered trunk, and a European- designed kick-up rudder. You can row out and sail back, and set up at sea. The mast is 2-part, stay-less, and can be stored onboard even while rowing. The sail is Raid and Everglades Challenge approved, with quick up and down setting and reefing points.
