SV Rangoon Lady III is a long keel, center cockpit, masthead ketch berthed in Titusville, FL. She was designed by the office of the famed naval architect John G. Alden, and built at the Cheoy Lee Boatyard in Hong Kong. This is a true blue-water vessel, having crossed the Atlantic Ocean four times, including being part of the Columbus Quincentenary, the event commemorating the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ Atlantic crossing.

Rangoon Lady III also sailed the Caribbean and cruised the Bahamas. Her current owners spent several months from December 2021 to May 2022 doing a partial refit, completing necessary mechanical work and updates, with the intent to sail her to Washington State. They had planned to complete the necessary cosmetic work once she was in her berth on the Pacific coast. Their plans changed, and they have put this center-cockpit ketch on the market.
