A True World Cruiser / Seriously For Sale / $300,000 Recorded in Total Price Reductions! About the ‘Dream Chaser’:  The Cape Horn CH 65 yachts are the ultimately safe long range cruisers and have proven themselves in surviving hurricanes, groundings, and even a rollover in the tsunami in Phuket. Beneath the tastefully decorated and beautifully crafted interior of Canadian Maple, is a hull and superstructure of welded steel plate that provides a strength and survivability comparable to that of a battle tank. Which, when coupled with a 5,000 gallon fuel capacity, redundant systems for propulsion and electronics, and a very pleasing array of accommodations for a party of six, make for a yacht that is ideal for world-wide ‘open ocean’ voyaging and long-term expedition cruising. Commissioned by a very experienced and respected voyaging yachtsman, throughout the design and construction and outfitting stages, emphasis was placed on safety features, equipment redundancy, high quality materials and machinery, low maintenance requirements, and luxury live aboard accommodations for extended cruising. Built to massive proportions, finished to present a refined ambiance, and strengthened with ice sheathing for cruising in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, this yacht is even considered by its designer to be the ultimate Cape Horn CH 65 in existence. Although Cape Horn Trawlers are well known for an abundance of heavy duty safety features, this particular Cape Horn also presents the refined elegance of a professionally decorated interior.  Framing the passing views as though fine art, large panoramic windows are set within the warm golden glow of light Canadian maple panels inlaid with banding, and throughout the yacht halos of brightness cast from custom inset lighting highlight the array of luxury appointments. From plush carpeting with sound-proofing lead underlay to watertight steel doors encased within finely finished solid furniture-grade maple, in all areas of the yacht function is coordinated with refinement. Materials and craftsmanship of the highest quality are displayed throughout, built in furnishings tastefully inlaid with dark filigree accent lines show fine  joiner work, imported Italian tiles bring lasting color to the galley sole, butter soft tan leather upholstery cover the main salon settees, and the durable “Marine Deck” flooring by Marquipt presents a nicely finished surface that is easily cleaned.  The list goes on, and on, and after all is said, beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder,  However, if your goal is to obtain an excellent value on an extremely well built and very capable world cruiser that has a low maintenance exterior, can be owner operated, and would be suitable for living aboard long term, then we suggest that you have found your match. Replacement cost for a vessel similarly built and equipped is estimated to be in excess of $ 2 million US. A note about valuation:  The Cape Horn yachts are highly valued for their extraordinary standards of safety and comfort, which become acutely apparent when challenged by heavy storms and rough seas.  As is often the case with high quality, relatively few have been built and they are rare to the market.  In fact this Cape Horn is the only CH-65 presently for sale (world-wide), and when estimating monetary value buyers may have difficulty finding relevant comparisons. Accordingly we present the following information for your consideration: Robert Johnston, the Naval Architect that designed the CH-65 series for Cape Horn Yachts, was recently quoted as stating: “I believe that Dream Chaser is the best of the Cape Horn CH-65 series of yach
