PRIVATEER Boat for Sale

Kristen Neuschafer, winner of the recently concluded single-handed 2022 Golden Globe race, chose the Cape George 36 for the same reasons I did: Privateer is fast, seaworthy and sea kindly, meaning crew friendly motion underway.  She sails with most 40+ footers and turns out good daily mileage runs.  She can obviously be single-handed and is manageable by a crew of two for extended periods.  PRIVATEER has the needed amenities without undue complexity. She is of a size that won’t break the bank, and presently ready to go to sea or explore coastal harbors.  The extensive upgrades add incredible value to PRIVATEER.  I’ll let the particulars speak for themselves.
