Concorida is a cutter-rigged 1978 Cape North 43, one of approximately 32 hulls built by Emsworth Ltd. in Hong Kong. She is a stout, world cruiser displacing 24,000 pounds. We are second owners of the vessel, originally purchased and commissioned by Seattle-based Dwight and Maxine Isbell. The Isbells were the North American importers of the Cape North line. Concordia was built to Dwight's specifications and the couple left the Seattle area in the 1980s for a 17-year circumnavigation. Since our purchase in 2002 in Port Angeles, Washington, we have completed several West Coast passages (single-handed and with crew) from the San Juan Islands to La Paz, Baja Mexico (Baja Ha-Ha, Class 2010).Brochure: Center Cockpit Model
