REASON FOR SELLING

Chickadee is a great boat, and a karma boat. However my dream of sailing around the world is postponed, now that I have a wife and 3 young children. See: www.worldkidsvoyage.org for history. My goal now is to relocate my young family to Canada and put the kids in school in BC.

Chickadee sits at anchor in San Juan Del Sur waiting new ownership. Over $60,000. invested but will sell to the right person for Only $21,000.

Side Note: Chickadee is a good karma boat. She was featured in a documentary called “Chickadee Spirit of the Kootenays” filmed for Canadian Television in 2002
