Docktail is a terrific example of the long range cruisers produced by the Fu Hwa shipyard in the 1970s and 80s. Her beautiful, hand crafted teak interior with satin finish is in excellent condition thanks to the complete re-bedding of all the windows and portlights several years ago. Topsides she features a huge sundeck with an open plan to the flybridge, and her super functional cockpit offers a great platform for fishing, watersports, docking and boarding. Comfortable and built with long range cruising in mind, Docktail is perfect for the Great Loop or exploring the far reaches of the Chesapeake and beyond. Her twin Volvo diesels sip fuel burning a combined 4 gph at her 9 knot cruising speed, while still packing the power to move out at 15-17 knots when you need to get going. Lovingly cared for by her current owners, she has been professionally maintained and spends every winter shrink wrapped on the hard. All systems are functional and she is ready to set sail on her next adventure today!

The sun deck is open to the fly bridge forward, with a stair case up found center. The staircase to the salon is adjacent to port, with the wet bar on the starboard side.

The fly bridge is fully protected from the elements by a Bimini top with a full canvas-eisinglass enclosure.

The roomy cockpit is found aft of the sundeck and is accessed via a staircase/ladder. The cockpit features four fishing rod holders, a hand held shower with hot and cold running water and an outboard motor mount w/Johnson 6 hp outboard. A transom gate opens to the swim platform.

Mirrors and shelving are found above the chests, all topped by shaded windows. Two large opening hatches are mounted in the aft bulkhead port and starboard opening to the cockpit. A sink with hot and cold running water is found on the port side, followed by the ensuite head in the forward port section of the cabin.
