The 125 is available with 30 month delivery and choice of interior configurations. I think Judy Waldman would be jumping for joy to answer any questions re this or any other new Cape Horn model.

Nice looking yacht. I like the shallow draft, good for the Bahamas. An Alaskan crabber of similar dimensions would have a 12' or 14' draft and a 100 ton hold.
