I am selling my beloved Dellabrown. I am no longer at the right place in my life to own a sailboat... I hope she goes on to wonderful places.
A little
history: I believe I am the third owner. The owner before me owned her for many years. He started her from
Portland,
Oregon and settled in Santa Barbara, where he lived aboard for several more years, eventually selling her to me when he bought a
trimaran. She is well set up for cruising and
live aboard life, and I have lived aboard for the past three summers (2 off the hook, 1 in ventura harbor). She needs some love to get back to her purist state of being, but as is she is a solid, trustworthy, well lined, well rigged
boat, ready for action.
She is insured through May of 2014 and currently living at Ventura West Marina in Ventura Harbor.
As with most boats of this era and in this
price range, she is solid and stoic, wanting for care and
maintenance.

keel cable shows signs of
corrosion
The
hull is in good condition, few to no
blisters (I visually inspect and clean on
SCUBA once every month or two since I know the
anti-fouling is towards the end of its life). the swing
keel has a few rust spots, I may get to this with
epoxy putty in the coming weeks.
