Ready to go sailing and cruising? Capella is ready for you. She is a 33' 1981 Navigator (Irwin cousin) blue water cruiser that is ready to go. You can walk off the dock and go to Captiva tomorrow. I am planning a trip in early Oct if I still have the boat.

As a well equipped cruiser, many details have been addressed to make this a great little boat. The galley works with a great ice box, working stove, and very functional storage. The cushions in all the berths are in great shape and there is comfortable bedding for everything. Low voltage fan and USB charging ports are throughout the boat as well.
This is a full keel, blue water boat with 1.25" thick hull that has cruised most of South Florida (East and West coasts) and the Caribbean. The mast is only 37', so getting across Lake Okeechobee to the East Coast is easy. Or, stay local and do sunset sails with friends and family, I have done this a lot.
Capella is a very comfortable boat that doesn't stink and is very female friendly. She is NOT a race boat
Capella is ready to go. Nothing is perfect, but I have spent a lot of time and money getting this boat into cruising shape and I have taken her cruising. You can confidently cruise down to Sanibel, Captiva, Boca Grand, Cabbage Key and Sarasota or do local over nights to Emerson Point and Fantasy Island. I have taken her there many times
