1973 Custom Steel Ketch

A 1973 custom steel ketch measuring 62 feet, built for serious offshore sailing and long-distance cruising. The steel hull, full keel, and ketch rig provide the strength and stability characteristic of this design, while the generous volume and broad beam of 16 feet support comfortable extended voyages. The layout features a central cockpit and flat aft deck that serve as open-air living spaces both at anchor and underway.

The interior accommodates four cabins with room for up to nine guests and two crew. The saloon is wood-lined and spacious, with a fully equipped galley and two electric heads serving the accommodations. The boat has undergone recent refits that include updated systems and finishes throughout.

Power comes from a 146-horsepower Volvo Tamd 41H diesel engine, giving a cruising speed of 7.5 knots. The boat is equipped with 2022 B&G electronics, a hydraulic bow thruster and hydraulic windlass, and a 2025 Vetus generator, providing modern systems for autonomous cruising and reliable operation.
