"Colin Childs" -  47 ft Steel Ketch - USD139,000

         "Sea Quest" is a full displacement, long keel cruising ketch. The previous owners have cruised the Pacific for the past 18 years. She's fitted out comfortably for a couple or family for long term, live-aboard cruising.
          Her equipment and systems have been refined over the years and maintained so as to be ready for sea. As testament to her strength & seagoing integrity she has rounded the Horn and sailed the Southern Ocean.
         All sail handling is easily and safely managed by one person within stainless pulpits and heavy lifelines. The high bulwarks afford maximum protection and safety when working sails or anchors on the foredeck.
         The interior wood work has all been executed by a professional cabinet maker using solid teak and traditional construction methods.
          The engine is a reliable 6 cylinder 118hp Ford with 1700 hrs since major engine rebuild carried out in 2002.
It has easy all around access, as does the Kubota Z-482, 2cyl, 10hp generator located in well equipped workshop, which has work bench with vice and full headroom.
