This well-maintained 1976 CAL 3-46 Center Cockpit Ketch has been cherished by the same owners for the past 25 years and is now only in its second ownership.
She is a sea-kindly, long-distance bluewater cruiser, designed for comfortable and safe offshore passage-making. Easily handled by two people, she also serves as a very comfortable liveaboard vessel.
The cockpit is a very inviting place and an extending table can seat up to eight for dinner there. Note the lifting seat overhead the engine room.
Over her cruising life, she has sailed extensively along the U.S. West Coast, down to Mexico, and completed a Pacific crossing. In recent years, she has continued her voyages around Australia, as well as the scenic west coasts of Malaysia and Thailand.
She is currently berthed in Penang, Malaysia, and registered in Langkawi.
Inspection by appointment with YBC.
