Cape Dory 30 Ketch - £18,500

Broker Remarks

This Ocean Ketch 30 is in fact manufactured by Cape Dory and is their ketch 30 and believed to be the only one in Europe she certainly is an exceptional yacht; she was first sailed across the Atlantic to Cork where she was then sailed to Strongford Loch before crossing the Irish sea in 2010, she now lies in the United Kingdom berthed in Plymouth. She is an excellent sea boat that will tackle most conditions; she also has the added bonus of being a fast passage maker. Patience had a major refurbishment by her current owners in 2010/2011. This Cape Dory 30 should be on the top of most wish lists she is a fantastic example of a well-built cruiser designed by Alberg and built by Cape Dory Yachts USA.
