It would be difficult to find a better boat for its current home waters of Southeast Alaska.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe designer is Australian Graham Radford, known for his seakindly designs (design # 47 at Radford-yacht.com). \u003cem\u003eMicah Rose\u003c\/em\u003e is relatively narrow by today’s standards, which translates into comfort on offshore passages and in big seas. A fin keel and separated rudder on a skeg provide both good tracking and maneuverability. The tall fractional rig is easily managed with plenty of sail area. \u003cem\u003eMicah Rose\u003c\/em\u003e has cruised from the Pacific Northwest to New Zealand and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior features a raised salon with exceptionally large windows for good visibility. Six hatches provide plenty of ventilation. Forward and aft cabins, plus a smaller sleeping cabin, provided ample room and abundant storage for a family of four for the voyage to New Zealand and for living for four years in Alaska.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vessel was built to commercial-boat standards in 2000 by Bruce Regan at Northwind Marine in Seattle. The hull is ¼-inch thick below the waterline and 3\/16-inch above the waterline. The interior was professionally done by Mike Pettier, known for creating the elegant interiors of Waterline Yachts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to her sailing qualities, \u003cem\u003eMicah Rose\u003c\/em\u003e motors at 1.25 gallons per hour with her 75HP Yanmar diesel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMicah Rose\u003c\/em\u003e represents an opportunity to enjoy the benefits and security of an aluminum hull and proven design, already in Alaska for the start of a memorable cruise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial grade construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepowered 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWebasto hydronic heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull cockpit enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Water equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior Accommodations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStarting forward, there is a lower double vee berth with storage under and a single berth over to starboard. There are two lockers in the bow plus four along the port side. There’s also a hanging locker to port. Wood slats line the hull sides in the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoving aft, the head and separate shower are to starboard. There is an impressive amount of storage for toiletries with a medicine cabinet and three lockers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe galley is to port, very much in the middle of the boat. It features deep double stainless sinks and a three-burner stove and oven. The large refrigerator and freezer are next to each other opposite the galley. In keeping with the rest of the boat, accessible storage is key with four drawers and several lockers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStepping up from the galley to the main salon, the sense of space and visibility is remarkable. Headroom in the main salon is 6’2”. The dinette is to port while the inside steering station and a settee are to starboard. The Dickinson propane heater is mounted at the aft end of the settee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFour drawers are under the dinette and lockers with excellent access are found throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStepping down to starboard is a stateroom with a double berth.
