Blackburn 50 Ketch
This 50’ cutter rigged ketch has loads of space aboard and would be great as a surf safari vessel and would also suit a live aboard cruising family or couple. The vessel has cruised extensively before and is capable of doing it again. Her sail wardrobe consists of main, mizzen, genoa, MPS, trisail, storm jib and 3 staysails. Most of the stainless wire rigging was replaced in 2011. The vessel has open plan living with one main cabin and convertible lounges. True Blew can motor along at a max speed of 7.5 knots, and is Australian registered ready for the voyage of a lifetime.
