I have seen her up in the San Juans. Very nice. Good luck on finding her a good home. Hopefully plenty of folks who appreciate the romance of a classic.

Draft, displacement, year of make, designer, picture of cockpit are desirable additional Info :-)

Is it a Colin Archer type!?
How does she sail under power!?

I believe it goes straight without helmsman in most circumstances....:-)

What a beauty she is.

Boats are so much cheaper in the U.S. Of A

Thank you, everyone, for your interest and kind words-
Looks like a number of people have gone to "September" 's website:
ingridketchseptember.webs.com
where there is MUCH information about the boat and the INGRID design, and many, many photos including cockpit photos.
She does "sail herself" as TheThunderbird mentioned.
Look under "About" on the website for a lot of info about this boat, but here's a summary (will also post some cockpit photos- the last 2 are from before we did the penetrating epoxy and elastomeric paint project on the teak decks, but do show the cockpit somewhat):

She is a Colin Archer type double-ender, designed by William Atkin.
From the Atkin Boat Plans website, here's the beginning of the article about the INGRID:
"INGRID is a big boat. She has all the characteristics usually associated with seagoing ability. She is the kind of boat that behaves in rough water. She can be depended upon to sail herself. She is ableness personified. And equal to any situation." - although Atkin does end with: "It may be well to mention that man has never built ANY kind of vessel that will ride out ANY kind of sea. ... The sea is a tremendous thing."

May be that the perfect next owner showed up for her- young, a professional mariner, willing to do the upkeep work required...
She's sold! ("48 North" ad, and our website, were how he found her.)
Thanks, all-
