51’ Kanter Atlantic Pilothouse for sale $150,000

Northern Passage is a cruiser’s dream – sturdy, reliable, roomy, AND a lovely sailing vessel. She is ready right now for long-term cruising - was completely updated for bluewater cruising/living aboard in May 2012. Currently on the hard in San Carlos, Mexico, she awaits her next captain and crew to take her out on the water and explore.

After cruising with our family of four from San Fran, CA to Seldovia, AK in 2010, then around Kachemack Bay until 2012, then from Alaska back down the coast of Alaska, Canada and the U.S. as far as Huatulco, Mexico and back up into the Sea of Cortez from May 2012-June 2013, we unfortunately had to move back to Alaska.

Hell of a boat and a hell of a builder/designer. If I didn't already have a steel pilothouser cutter, I would've loved a steel pilothouse ketch!

Good luck.
