Toscana is a 1981 Island Gypsy 44 Flushdeck Trawler Yacht. The hull is 44' long, 49'6" LOA, with a beam of 14'6". With the sail mast (pictured) she stands 27' above the water. She was purchased in Green Bay, WI July 31, 2019 from her second owners, Merl and Fatima Baenen.
Toscana is powered by twin Ford Lehman diesels, and sports a fuel capacity of 850 gallons, giving her a range of 2500-3500 statute miles. A true distance cruiser! She comes equipped with 3 zone Heat/AC, 10kw genset, 300 gallons of fresh water, 50 gallons of flush water and 50 gallons of holding tank capacity. Toscana was built with a 3 stateroom layout, sleeping 8 people. Flybridge and pilothouse controls for all weather conditions she may encounter.
Toscana is a "Great Loop" Veteran, including a trip to the Bahamas in 1995-1996 with her previous owners. She will conquer this voyage again in the coming years! Until then, enjoy our posts exploring the lovely rivers and lakes, and planned trips to Nashville, TN, Kentucky Lake & Lake Barkley, Chattanooga, TN, Knoxville, TN, and who knows, maybe a voyage back to the Great Lake Michigan!
