This 39-foot Allied Mistress is a center-cockpit ketch designed for comfortable cruising. Her long keel and shallow draft combine with a 700-square-foot ketch rig to create a boat that is easily driven and handled. The ketch configuration allows quick sail reduction by dropping the main and sailing under jib and mizzen, reducing crew demands when conditions warrant.
The interior arranges three cabins with attention to both comfort and privacy. The owner's cabin sits aft with an enclosed head and shower, hanging locker, and built-in dresser. A second large cabin forward accommodates two and is similarly equipped. Amidships, a third cabin houses the galley and a convertible dinette that sleeps two. A passageway beneath the starboard cockpit seat connects the owner's and midship cabins and incorporates a chart table, workbench, and oilskin locker. Engine access is straightforward through paired doors in this passage, providing reach to all engine compartment areas.
The 40-horsepower Westerbeke-Perkins diesel leaves ample space for a generator and auxiliary equipment. The 80-gallon fuel tank and 160-gallon water tank support extended range cruising. The midship cockpit features wheel steering and two seat lockers for on-deck storage.
This boat has undertaken two North Atlantic crossings and extensive cruising across the European inland waterway system. She has also cruised extensively throughout North American waters and the Caribbean.
