One of the most capable 'pocket cruisers' ever built, the Pacific Seacraft 'Flicka' has an impressive history of not only weekend and coastal cruising, but proper blue-water adventures as well!  The combination of a solid and simple sailing rig and a full keel displacement hull based on classic lines ensures the Flicka is seaworthy far beyond what you might expect from a boat of this size. The Pacific Seacraft Flicka has had many accolades over the years, and has been consistently featured in the various editions of the Ferenc Mate 'Best Boats' books. 'Pikachu' is great example of this class of over 400 (this is hull # 169), and has been extensively refinished and upgraded by a knowledgeable blue water sailor with many sea-miles under his keel.  If you have ever thought of sailing 'beyond the Bay,' but were not interested in either paying for, or maintaining a much larger vessel, then 'Pikachu' might just be the ticket!
