1983 Baba 30

Hansville, Washington

$48,500

The Baba 30, designed by Robert Perry and built in Taiwan is a true sailing classic.  Only 170 were built between 1977 and 1986. Designed for up to 5 passengers and sturdy enough to handle the rigors of offshore cruising, she is touted to be the ultimate couples cruiser locally and around the world.  

Purchased as a family boat over 20 years ago, the owner has used and cruised her often and through her, taught all the grandkids how to sail. However, the time has come to pass her onto the next avid sailor.

Many updates were performed over the years including cabin and topside paint with Awlgrip 2015, new transmission 2016, new mast and standing rigging 2017and new Jabsco head in 2019. She was repowered in 2001 with a Yanmar diesel and the fuel tank was replaced at the same time. She is barely broken in with around 1000 hours on her engine.

Dawn Treader has been well loved and well maintained.

Located on a private dock in Hansville, Washington - please call to arrange viewing.
