Stepping down the companion way you’ll be very glad to notice the headroom, full standing headroom with plenty of space to move around!

The galley is to the port side, there’s plenty of room here to cook meals and with plenty of storage longer trips without needing to stop for food is possible. The sink can be covered giving extra work space as well as top loading fridge. The owner has taken the gas system off and uses a camping stove with another spare stored in the forepeak as well as a microwave. An oven could be fitted but these will stay on board and work effectively.

To starboard is a nav station with a huge storage area. Full list of equipment can be found under the navigation section of the listing

The saloon feels very comfortable, the upholstery is in great condition and gives a great open area with the fold down table.

The forecabin is a split between heads and a storage area, these aren’t bunks and is designed to be the main storage area there’s plenty of space here to store excess sails and fenders- and more!

The aft cabin is a comfortable area although headroom is low. The berth size its self is generous and can very happily fit 2 adults.

Eberspacher diesel heating throughout the whole boat.

1 burner gas cooker/stove

Broker's Comments

The Seadog 30 is an incredibly well built motor sailer, she has great accommodation for her size and with several transatlantic and around the globes completed on them that really cements just how impressive these are!

This example has been looked after really well having just 2 owners, with one owner having lovingly kept her for more than 40 years!

She benefits from a bow thruster, not something that has been fitted on a lot of these as well as brand new this year standing rigging. The interior is clean and very well kept, the upholstery is in great condition as is the woodwork.

The only negatives from what I saw would be the couple of spider cracks on the top deck, past that she seems be in excellent condition. Some may want to update the navigation equipment however the equipment is all working as does do the job intended.

If you’re looking for a solid motor sailer that has had the big expense of standing rigging replaced then this is a great option to get on the water quickly for a very generous price.
