Description

The Cape George 38 is a sturdy bluewater cruising sailboat designed for long-distance voyages, featuring a full-length keel and heavy lead ballast for stability. She's quicker than you might think -  a Cape George 36 even won the 2022/23 Golden Globe Race!

Down below "ON 3" is super charming with all those lovely ship characteristics like solid bronze opening portlights, butterfly hatch over salon, gorgeous well-kept brightwork, and aesthetic embellishments like the finishing cabinetry and wooden ceiling beams. She has 1 master cabin in the bow, 1 bathroom, and 1 quarterberth in the aft.

ON 3 was originally launched in 2000 and received a full refit in 2017/18. Lovingly built and meticulously maintained over the years, she is in exceptional, like-new condition. We've taken her across oceans and are only selling as we moved up to a larger boat so we can sail with our kids, otherwise we'd love to keep her!

Originally $179,000, we've come down $39k to help make her more affordable to her next owners. You won't have to do anything to this boat - she is worth every penny!
