DAWN PIPER is an excellent couples cruiser.  Everything is substantial from the bronze ports and warm cabin lamps to the solid wood interior and thick cabin sole. She has great light and ventilation. The boat is very large inside with a big forward stateroom with tons of storage, a large head just aft to port with incredible storage and a workshop adjacent on starboard. The whole area becomes a gigantic bathroom and dressing room. A diesel heater is on the bulkhead to keep warm. The salon is also large with an L shaped settee to port and a straight settee berth to starboard. A very large table can seat about six comfortably. The table is hinged to a bulkhead and folds up to create a large open area. There is abundant storage throughout. The U-shaped galley to port is just below the companionway with lots of storage including special dish storage and a large cabinet with storage below and counter space above. The sit down navigation station is on starboard with a quarter berth aft which is great for storage.

Beautiful cutter rig easily managed by a couple. The rigging (replaced in 2009) is oversized with external bronze chainplates (rebedded in 2009), new pulleys on mast top  and turnbuckles. The wire rigging has Norseman terminals so you can replace a wire one a time. The double spreader rig has permanent backstays so you don't need running backstays (bonus). She'll heave to reliably with a triple reef in the heavy mainsail and the staysail. She'll track well and balance easily to be steered by the Monitor wind vane steering system (new in 2012) or while motoring or in light winds with a new Tiller Pilot by Raymarine.  The boat is rigged well to cruise.

Full keel with encapsulated lead ballast. Cutaway forefoot with relatively broad transom with a handsome sheer and relatively low freeboard, and high bulwarks. The external rudder is hung on massive bronze gudgeons. The three-blade prop is secure and safe in an aperture. Hull construction is solid fiberglass and hand-laminated. The hull is laid up with the best tooling polyester resins. The deck is molded with laminated fiberglass unit with strategic balsa coring in sections to reduce weight. The outer layer of deck is approximately 1/2" with 1/2" balsa core then a 1/4" under layer of fiberglass. Areas of deck hardware are reinforced and all were rebedded in 2005. The hull and deck are joined at the toe rail cap and the joint is completely tabbed below with several layers of fiberglass cloth. Bulkheads are tabbed to the hull and furniture is built into the monolithic structure. That is to say she is a well built solid boat!

DAWN PIPER is an excellent deal on a True Blue Water cruiser.  The owner spent lots of money on upgrading the boat as shown above as he and his wife had big plans to do some serious cruising but plans changed.  He wanted to make it a bare minimum, idiot proof cruising yacht focusing on safety.  She's not gonna win a race in light winds on the ICW against some small chlorox bottle type boats but when the winds pick up and conditions get grueling she'll certainly be one of the safest vessel on the water.
