Cape Dory 36 Ketch for sale in SF Bay Area

[Timsmale]

Looking for a well-equipped blue water cruiser that will take you around the world or just take you away? This one-of-a-kind beauty of reputable pedigree is the only 36' ketch C.D. made. Admirers love her "lines" and her salty, yet sweet look. A flexible sail plan and cut-away keel make her a joy to sail in all conditions and the shallow draft takes you to waterways less traveled. The handsome wooden interior was crafted by fine New England craftsmen, complimented by tasteful upholstery and emblem curtains. Very low engine hours and half her life in fresh water has treated her kindly. You'll see why a recent surveyor ranked her "above average". After 12 years of lovingly maintaining her and a 2-year cruise, it is truly a heartache to part with her because we are moving across the country.

Being the only CD ketch is unique and we get comments all the time how pretty she is. I've taken excellent care of her and maintained her very well, such as changing the oil and filter every 100 hours and fuel filters every 300 hours and other preventative maintenance. A skilled mechanic, I do most of my own work on her except for any work best left to professionals.

We’ve had our cruising dream and want to give someone else to enjoy cruising a Cape Dory.
