Cabo Rico Northeast 400 Sea Amor

Many sailors eventually make the transition from sailboats to trawlers. While they take a lot of ribbing from their sailing buddies, the move can be a logical one-less work, more space and a warm inside steering station. The Northeast 400 from Cabo Rico may just make sailors think twice about becoming power converts. Cabo Rico has produced a motorsailer that actually motors and sails very well. That sailing performance is a result of designer Mark Ellis' deft hand, who is well-known for his Nonsuch catboats and Niagara cruisers...

The Northeast 400 is a unique boat equally at home beating to weather in the Bahamas or steaming along under power in a windless Maine fog bank. These characteristics make the Northeast 400 a compelling choice. - Sailing Magazine, John Kretschmer, December 2006
