We have returned to the world of the M-F 9-5, and have decided that we must sell our beloved Sea Heather. We have cruised over 6000 miles and lived aboard for four years and she has never let us down. We know she will grace her new owners, whomever they may be, with the same unrelenting loyalty she gave us. This page outlines every detail of this fantastic Down East Yachts 38 foot Cutter. We are selling her in her fully cruising-equipped condition, including all the little details such as life jackets, charts, cruising guides, maintenance manuals, and specialized tools. Just add water!
Unless otherwise noted all equipment is fully functional in good or excellent condition!
