$32,500 USD

Yacht for sale is a 1987 BLUEWATER YACHTING 36' "Sitka" Ketch High-Endurance Cruiser Cruising Sailboat in Benicia, California, USA.

While she is due for some exterior maintenance upgrading, this is one of the very best-built vessels we have ever encountered and can be had at an excellent value. She appears capable of CRUISING ANY WATERS. An extremely well-equipped and strongly-built steel BLUE-WATER cruising doublender ketch designed by the highly-respected J.P. Hartog, famous for his extra-stout off-shore designs. In addition to an extremely attractive price, this vessel has MUCH TO RECOMMEND HER. Well-found & set up for BLUE-WATER CRUISING; a partial list of her features includes: While she is set up to be a cruising yacht, she could easily be pressed into commercial service owing to her unusually robust design & construction; full keel with cut-away forefoot for stability & sea-keeping in a seaway & nimbleness when close to the dock; sail inventory w/ covers (incl: main, mizzen, furling Genoa ,Schafer 2100 roller furler, storm jib), 4.2KW Diesel Auxiliary GenSet, 6' 5" Headroom,  YANMAR Diesel, Hydraulic Steering (wheel), Elect. Anchor Winch, 406 EPIRB, Marine Head w/holding tank, 4-person offshore canister life raft (probably should be repacked), Capac Anti-corrosion System, WATER-MAKER, HEAT & AIR CONDITIONING, Gas BBQ, Full Galley, Refrigeration, Shower, H&C pressure H20, VHF (fixed & handheld), Depth Sounder, GPS, Auto-Pilot, RADAR, Chart Plotter, dingy davits, Inverter/Charger, West Marine/Zodiac R.I.B. w/6-hp o/b, NEW SELF-STEERING Wind Vane still in the box, AND MORE! There appears to be some relatively minor deferred maintenance to catch up upon; but this vessel strikes us as an EXCEPTIONAL VALUE that could have legitimately been offered at a much higher price. Owner is highly motivated and prepared to do business... OFFERS ARE ENCOURAGED!
