ALameda, California

$374,900

Seascape is an incredibly outfitted and seaworthy cruising vessel. She has spent several years cruising the US west coast from Mexico to Alaska and is in excellent condition, ready to go again and beyond. She has many custom features making her unique, functional, and comfortable. Another like her can not be found.

From the famous Cheoy Lee Shipyards, shipbuilders for over a century and produces of over 5,000 vessels, comes this excellent example of a quality yacht consistent with the style and design found at one of the world's leading yacht builders. SEASCAPE is characteristic of the long line of motor sailors produced at the Hong Kong yard. She is roomy, comfortable, easy to handle, strong, and handsome. The yacht can be driven from her totally enclosed pilot house with excellent visibility or from a raised outside steering station that can be open to the fresh air or enclosed with a full wrap-around removable enclosure. With twin engines and her roller furling jib, main. staysail and genoa, SEASCAPE is easily maneuvered and sailed by one or two people. Her 2,600 mile range under power provides safety and security for long voyages. If you are looking for a large, comfortable, blue-water motor sailor, then SEASCAPE should be a prime candidate.

SEASCAPE is fitted out as the perfect cruising or live-aboard yacht. With her spacious aft owner's cabin and voluminous private head with separate shower/bath you will enjoy luxurious accomodations on the dock, at anchor or on the rhumb line to Tahiti.

She sports an outside flying bridge with all main/staysail/genoa controls led to the helm. Roller furling main (with electric winch), staysail and genoa sails make making way a breeze. If the weather turns dismal, the skipper can retreat to the inside helm with excellent 360% visibility. When the wind dies, her two Ford-Lehman diesels and ample 900 Gallons of fuel will keep you on track AND on schedule to your destination.

Her large, well equipped galley with two large refrigerators and freezers will make meals a cullinary delight at anchor or in a seaway.

The spacious full-width master stateroom with centerline queen aft and two spacious guest cabins forward gives SEASCAPE plenty of accommodations and privacy for a world adventure.

SEASCAPE is a long range vessel in outstanding condition and ready to sail away. She is very comfortable with many custom features, well appointed teak interior with 3 cabin, 2 head layout. SEASCAPE is a beautiful and rare opportunity for the cruising sailor.
