Comments
This Real Ships is appropriately named, as Patricia D is everything a small ship would need to facilitate her intended purpose as a serious long range world cruising yacht. Her sturdy steel hull construction with aluminum super structure, bulbous bow, large rudders, twin diesel engines, hydraulic stabilizers and 4700 gallons of fuel can make any destination reachable. The sellers change in plans placers her on the market at a fraction of her replacement cost. Just completed a yard period, getting a fresh bottom job, hull paint job, new engine batteries, new washer and dryer, freezer, new Plasteak on main deck and a few other cosmetic upgrades.
