1983 Dickerson 37

Annapolis, Maryland

$55,000

The Dickerson 37 Sloop, Calypso,  is well built, has classic lines, is roomy and attractive below, and she sails beautifully.  Her modified full keel with skeg-hung rudder helps make her sea-kindly under sail.  The 4' 6" draft allows her to get places other boats are afraid to go. Modified full keel with a keg hung rudder.

CALYPSO  has had excellent care. Only two owners since new.   Brightwork looks good.  Recent comfort upgrades include 16K air conditioning & new salon fabric 

Featured in Ference Mate's book, "The World's Best Sailboats", this is an elegant, high quality cruiser with a sleek hull design below the waterline and traditional lines above. In the same class as Hinckley, Morris and Alerion, this boat has graceful lines, strong construction, and a shallow draft keel, making her comfortable wherever you want to cruise, from blue water to the Chesapeake Bay or a Caribbean island.     

Located in the water in Annapolis for convenient inspection   

Offered at $55,000
