Description
A classic, elegant, and proven offshore cruiser that is incredibly well-suited for cruising the Pacific Northwest. The Seabird is a full-keel sailboat of medium displacement, built to take the rigours of offshore cruising and with its shoal draft, you can edge it into spaces many sailboats of this size can’t go.
The centre cockpit is an extremely comfortable place to manage a boat in rough weather. With a full enclosure, there is protection from the sun, rain, and wind, making it a great all-season cruiser.

- Aft cabin with a double berth and a head for true privacy
- Bow thruster for easy maneuvering around the docks
- Fully enclosed centre cockpit
- Bunks in the forward cabin
- Assumable moorage in Nanaimo with management approval
