Description
Welcome aboard Dulcinea, a well-cared for Willard 30 Vega Searcher. She is a full displacement, exceptionally seaworthy vessel.
Dulcinea sips diesel from her twin 50-gallon tanks using about 1 gph at her cruise speed of 6 knots. This is achieved at 1900 RPM on her recently installed Cummins 65HP engine. Her engine room is spotless and has extremely easy access for servicing. A most recent upgrade is the installation of a Balmar high output alternator to keep her new AGM battery bank fully charged.
Dulcinea will offer the cruising couple all that is needed to cruise the coast comfortably and safely using her newly installed Garmin electronics including chart plotter, radar, and autopilot.
Dulcinea shows pride of ownership throughout. From the fresh painted hull to all the new windows, interior and exterior soft goods, flooring covers, (all custom made from Gioia Sails), newer complete vacu-flush head system, she checks all the boxes to enter the world of trawler cruising for a fraction of the cost.
In short, this vessel is DEFINITELY worth a look. She will not disappoint.
