Remarks

TOTO was originally built as ONDINE VI for Huey Long, an avid ocean racing sailor, as a fast but comfortable alternative to his former stripped out racing sailboats. She was purchased by her present owner in 1999 and under his tutelage and that of his highly experienced captain of 15 years, has had several major upgrades. She is kept in ready to go, safe passage/cruising condition. She will not disappoint a new owner.
