Eku III is located at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club in Toronto. A proven bluewater cruiser capable of single-handed sailing, she completed four Atlantic crossings prior to her recent refit.
Eku III underwent an extensive multi-year refit between 2015 and 2019, encompassing nearly every major system aboard. Improvements include a Yanmar repower, replacement mast and boom, new standing and running rigging, a comprehensive Furuno electronics package, upgraded electrical and plumbing systems, extensive teak and exterior refinishing, and substantial interior and galley improvements.
Detailed refit documentation is available upon request.
