For Sale: Baba 30 in Seattle, WA

[svBabette]

It is with great sadness and pleasure that we offer Babette up for sale. Sadness because she has been a wonderful boat, and we’ll hate to part ways with her, but we’ll take pleasure in that we are going to find her a new wonderful steward.

Baba’s have sailed all over the world, even circumnavigated non-stop, and have proven themselves capable offshore boats. Babette is currently setup for coastal cruising and has served us well daysailing, weekending, and several week+ trips. She is stable & forgiving, wonderful to sail – can carry full sail right up to 20 knots, and just bounds through the sea. We’ve intentionally kept her with fairly simple but robust systems. We do most of our navigation on iPads, that do double duty as movies screens in the evenings. She’s always kept us safe, warm & secure.

Offered at $39,000

Sturdy boat - sailed one for years. A dog with fleas into the wind but overall a decent selection provided time is on your side. Lots of storage and well-appointed for an old hack. Again, you will not win any races but you will arrive safely.

Beautiful.

The link to your website doesn't work: it gives ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Is the boat still available?

[George_SD]

Looks like Bluehost is either blocking due to amount of traffic or it wasn't published fully.


I may be mistaken here, but I think Bob Perry was a fan of Baba
