50' Dickerson Ketch

The "Volantis" is a great offshore sailing yacht. Dickerson only built two of these fine yachts. Featured by Ferenc Mate in "The World's Best Sailboats". She is a two-owner, impeccably maintained yacht with a displacement ratio of 260 which is ideal for offshore sailing. She is also intercoastal capable with a spar height under 65 feet. "Volantis" has always called "Chesapeake Bay" home, but has sailed extensively from Canada to South America.
