An exceptional cruise veteran that just spent one year of extended cruise in Mexico. It is a fine example of the popular center cockpit cruiser of which there were over 400 built. The KP 44 is arguably one of the best values for the price that is available anywhere. She is a fast sailing, comfortable, but capable offshore cruising cutter rigged yacht. The designer, Doug Petersen, who is known worldwide for his racing designs, not to mention the recent designs that have sent the ALD MUG to the Kiwi's, has provided a cruising yacht with modern concept that after 25 years of proven cruising still remains a cruising classic. This design also emphasizes the ability to sail comfortably and safely to a destination regardless of the wind direction, yet has good handling characteristics and is sea kindly.

The " DREAM CATCHER" has had many recent upgrades that make her a strong consideration for any cruiser with long range visions. The yacht is clean and blister free, all systems are working, and she is really ready to go with just provisioning. Call for a showing appointment now. Check this one out, it's a winner.
