FOR SALE Cal 2-46 - $129,000 USD

The Merry Dolphin:

The Cal 46 is on a select list of passage making sailboats.  Almost all of the Cal 46s are all are still sailing and many, many of them have circumnavigated, some multiple times.  She is commodious, strong, comfortable, capable and is a fantastic sailing machine.  The Merry Dolphin is a special example among her sister ships with electric winches, a teak-cherry sole, very strong and beautiful custom window frames and lovely strong davits. Merry Dolphin has also been extensively refitted over the past 5 years and has been substantially upgraded.  Over $200,000 has been  invested with all projects completed to very high standards with the goal of having boat that will be ready to cruise in comfort and style for the next 10 years or more.

Merry Dolphin has just successfully completed a crossing to French Polynesia and is ready to continue exploring the South Pacific or she can be delivered to your preferred location in the Pacific.
