THE BOAT
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Here is some information about Eidos (which means “essence” in Greek):
She is an East Orient cutter, 32 feet (10meters) in length, designed by a well-known Canadian designer, Ted Brewer, and built in Taiwan in
1980. The company doesn't exist any more and I've been told that it's because they did excellent work, and just couldn't keep up with the
cheaper, mass-produced boats. It is very difficult to find this boat for sale as most people keep them. She is a medium displacement
offshore cruising boat which means that she is more stable than fast. She has been compared to a Tayana, a Pacific Seacraft, and a
Southern Cross. Also, some Union 32s and Shearwater 32s were built from the same design. Click HERE to go to the Owner's Group
page.
Sometimes when Eidos is not available or too small for our group, we will be chartering another yacht. In that case I will provide you with all
the details ahead of time.
