1984 Cambria 44/46 for Sale – 46 ft – St Petersburg, FL, United States

COLLEEN is hull #1 of the Cambria 44 series. She is actually the boat featured in Ference Mate’s book The Worlds Best Sailboats. At that time, she had teak decks which have been removed and replaced with a beautiful non-skid deck. The current owner has meticulously restored and upgraded COLLEEN. He has added a beautiful fiberglass hard dodger that is functional and great looking keeping with her beautiful lines that were originally drawn. The windows in the dodger are tempered glass. The beautiful teak interior is in Excellent condition absent any blemishes. I have had the privilege to sail Cambria’s and I have never sailed another boat with a better design for balance even in the toughest conditions. Tacking to windward, one finger on the wheel with a 18knt headwind in a two-to-three-foot chop. “You have to experience it to appreciate it.” I have a video of the thru hulls being operated with one finger through180 degrees. Need I say any more about her constant care and maintenance!

This is a “Special Boat”. Call me to make her your “Special Boat”.
