The Seadog 30 is a very solid small centre-cockpit ketch-rigged cruiser - originally marketed as a motor-sailer, but with fairly good sailing performance. This 1970 example is in truly amazingly good condition for a boat that will soon be approaching her 40th year: the condition of the original gelcoat on hull and deck is still very good, and the interior too has held up very well indeed.

The Seadog was first introduced in 1964, designed and built by Reg Freeman A.R.I.N.A. The design was popular, and production continued for many years, with very minor design changes.

They offer an unusual combination of qualities - a good enough and tough enough heavy-displacement sailing boat to cross oceans, yet relatively shallow draught and the ability to take the ground if you have the triple keel version. Add in a deep safe cockpit protected from the worst of the weather by a fixed windscreen, and masts in tabernacles so they can be lowered if necessary without outside assistance, and you have a genuinely go-almost-anywhere boat, from ocean passages (at least one has been circumnavigated single-handed) to the French canals.

The Seadog design does not have a forecabin: instead there is a quite spacious heads compartment that doubles as sail and gear stowage, with the anchor chain led down a pipe to a chain locker low in the bows. At some date past this yacht had an athwartships double berth conversion fitted in the saloon, with boards spanning the two settees forward, and to allow access to the heads with this in place the heads door was split 'stable door' style. The bunk boards are still there for this double arrangement, but there is now no infill cushion.

The Seadogs have a saloon table folds away almost completely,
to leave a very open interior when the table is not required (photo below).

The chart table top folds in two parts and hinges up, to allow use of a small quarterberth aft of the tabletop - in practice however access is awkward, and most owners use the space for stowage
Two large panels in the cockpit sole lift out to give full access to engine and gearbox

A wooden platform on the aft deck is for dinghy stowage, to keep it clear of the aft cabin hatch and ventilator
