“MERLIN” is an absolutely stunning sistership to the famous Able 44′ “WOLF”, but she’s faster, newer, and more beautifully detailed throughout. Originally launched in 1995 with a fairly modest Herreshoff style interior and smaller engines, her second and current owner bought her in 1998 in lieu of building a new boat. He took her back to the Able yard (her original builder) for an extensive and total refit in 1998/1999 which included extending the cockpit by 2′, new more powerful engines, all new shafts, struts, bearings and running gear. Additionally, the old interior was completely removed and a new beautiful raised panel cherry interior installed. All in all, the total cost for this refit was in excess of $800,000 above her purchase price. The result was, and still is, the most beautiful Able 44′ ever built. She is now offered for sale at an asking price of $529,000
