Vessel and Skipper

The Seabird 37 cutter Mistress is the modern answer to a traditionalist's dream, combining today's materials and performance flair with yesterday's elegance and attention to detail. This is a boat that represents the ultimate to many people ... to those who appreciate sea-going comfort, who enjoy stability and a fine turn of speed. The Seabird's long waterline length, moderate beam, long keel, easily handled sails, and efficient diesel engine make for smooth relaxed comfortable passage making in typical Pacific Northwest weather conditions.

You step aboard into a spacious weatherproof centre cockpit. Two steps down take you into teak lined cabins, well equipped galley and dinette with large windows. Crew accommodation is in a private aft cabin with its own head compartment, hanging locker and queen size berth, comfortable for one or two persons. A central heating system provides all season comfort.

Guest crew accommodation is in a private aft cabin with its own head compartment, hanging locker and queen size berth, comfortable for one or two persons.

Enjoy a learning adventure in this super natural environment in the comfort of this well appointed vessel.
