    General Description

    Preliminary listing...more details and photos on the way!


    Papillon, a Dickerson 41 center cockpit, is a solid and proven offshore and island-hopping world-class sailboat.


     

    “She was bought as a home and a long-distance stable cruiser, and she has provided both. We have cruised her from Baltimore, through the Bahamas, and as far south as the Dominican Republic. She is loved and well cared for and currently docked in St. Augustine ready for her next adventure, north or south. It is my hope to find someone looking for what she is, a comfortable home and a fine vessel that will take you anywhere you want to go.”-current owners

     

    She is ketch rigged with a full isinglass enclosure, a Bahamas friendly 4.5 ft draft, and many recent upgrades. She was designed and built on the Chesapeake Bay and is considered by many to be the ultimate in cruising designs. Her full keel draft of 4.5 feet and her heavy displacement allows her to be comfortably taken offshore or cruised down the Intracoastal Waterway.

    She was commissioned and built the owner of Dickerson Yachts himself after he sailed to Jamaica on a sister ship. She was built to sail to Tahiti. That voyage was never realized, but she has served as a coastal and Island cruiser for the past 32 years, making over 20 passages to the Bahamas and back. Papillon is set up for an off-the-grid cruising lifestyle with her systems so balanced she can sit on anchor for months at a time. She is a solidly founded, serious yacht that will serve her new owner well for many years to come.
