    Has anyone seen this yacht recently or know where it may be?

    44' Hunt Design built by Falmouth Marine in 1985. Two photos attached. Also, two links to yachting magazine ads attached. One is from 1985 and the most recent I can find is from 2005 and confirms that she was for sale and in good shape.

    VIGILANT was designed and custom built for her first owner, a very knowledgeable yachtsman. His requirements included a comfortable cruising boat with good speed that would be capable of running in any reasonable sea condition. VIGILANT has met all these requirements and more. She is a one-of-a-kind sailors powerboat with excellent craftsmanship. Offered very substantially below replacement. She has always enjoyed professional maintenance which is reflected in her present condition.
