Built in 1976 by Cecil Lange & Sons as a custom boat from a design by Ed Monk, Sr. for offshore cruising. This yard is known worldwide as the manufacturer of Cape George Cutters, a well regarded line of offshore sailboats. The manufacturer continues as Cape George Marine Works today.

The double ended hull is heavily built with oak frames, laminated deck beams, and 1 1/2 inch Port Orford cedar strip planking with a dynel/epoxy overlay. The exterior composite overlay shows professional craftsmanship and is smooth and fair. Decks are marine plywood with teak overlay with a large flush deck forward. The deck house is professionally finished with a composite overlay and features a hard spray dodger/dog house. The teak brightwork trim is in excellent condition. The boat features cast bronze port lights and deck hardware including deck prisms.

Length overall 50 feet.

Waterline Boats / Boatshed does not independently verify capacities and measures, which are reported from seller-provided information and/or literature.

This is a heavily built offshore vessel of composite construction with a beautiful teak and mahogany interior. The entire concept behind the design and construction of this boat is based on successful, traditional methods and systems for self-reliant offshore passage making.

Enter the interior of the vessel from the cockpit through carved teak doors and beneath a hard dodger/doghouse which protects you from the elements and seas.

The main salon is very large and open with expansive headroom. Large bronze port lights provide lots of illumination. To starboard there is a dedicated navigation station with ample space for storage of charts and documents. A 36 mile Furuno radar, VHF radio with automatic loudhailer, and ICOM SSB radio are installed here. To port is a quarter berth that has been configured as a seat and storage space. Headroom in the salon is 6' 2".

Aft from the salon is the engine room. Doors to port and starboard allow access. This space has full, standing headroom - imagine that on a sailboat! There's even a workbench with vise to starboard. The space is large and allows full access to the engine. A new smart battery charger is installed for AGM batteries with isolation switches. Headroom in the engine room is 6' 1".
Notes:
Wiring and electrical panels require re-routing and proper installation;
A shore power connector and breaker panel should be purchased and installed for safety;

Back in the salon to port is a large galley. You'll find ample storage and counter space, a deep ice box/cold plate refrigerator (used to have engine driven cold plate, compressor has been removed), a single sink with bronze pressure/manual water faucet, and a four burner propane stove with oven. The galley faucet is connected for pressurized water, however, the pump is electrically disconnected.
Notes:
Cold plate refrigeration system requires a new compressor;
Pressure water pump needs to be connected;

To starboard is a very large U-shaped settee with table that converts to a double berth. The floors in the boat are painted plywood. Snaps are installed in corners of the floor panels to permit the installation and removal of carpet pieces as a floor covering if desired (carpeting not included).
Note:
Floors are unfinished, ready for carpeting or laminate installation

Moving forward into the cabin spaces you will find a queen sized 6' 8" long berth to starboard. True to the needs of sleeping at sea, this berth has fiddles for insertion of a leeboard to split the berth into two spaces when underway. A deck prism is overhead to provide for ample light to augment the fixed interior lighting. Headroom in the midship cabin space is 6' 1" to 6' 4"

Opposite to this berth is an enclosed marine head compartment with a stall shower. This space currently has an inoperable marine toilet that will need to be repaired or replaced along with the installation of a holding tank and deck fitting for legal pump out capability. The shower is contained with a seat to permit use underway and does not have full headroom. The galley sink has a manual pump faucet. The shower is not connected to pressurized water but is plumbed. Note also that there is no water heater installed on the boat - this boat was intended for tropical use. The head compartment is also illuminated with a deck prism. Headroom in this compartment is 6' 1" and for the sitting shower 5" 0".
Note:
Marine head compartment needs refit and update including installation of a holding tank;
A marine water heater will need to be purchased and installed to provide domestic hot water;

Forward in the passageway is the forward cabin and sail locker. This space features a single 6' 2" long berth to port with storage overhead. A large hanging locker is to starboard of this sleeping berth. This is a large cabin and has an open anchor locker with storage for lines and sails. Sails can also be stored on a shelf and elsewhere in this space. A ladder allows egress to the foredeck through a teak opening hatch for sail changes and foredeck work. Headroom in the forward cabin varies from 7' 1" below the hatch to about 6' 0".
