Custom
built, in steel this 53ft San
Francisco Bay - built by Conyar
Marine in Kent,
is an extremely spacious, very safe and powerful cruising
ketch.
DriKe (pronounced as "Dreeka"
to sort of rhyme with Rita) has been well maintained and is in very good order.
She has travelled, I believe to the Caribbean.
DriKe has slab reefing with semi battened main and mizzen. Roller reefing
on Genoa and staysail. She also has a gennaker.
The overall impression on deck is that of a small ship.
She has four anchors with a Lofran 'Titan' winch
The galleon style windows on the stern offer a magnificent view from
the master cabin.
She has davits, an RIB with 6 hp
outboard, stern and side boarding ladders.
She has a solid windscreen
(opening center section) with spray hood to keep the cockpit dry and safe.
