With her elegant lines and strong construction, this classic 1988 Fleming Moreton Bay Cruiser "DARU", which is featured in the second edition of the coffee table book "Classic Moreton Bay Cruisers", is constructed from spotted gum with a polished Queensland maple interior fitout. Some of the features of this beautifully kept vessel include a large sheltered aft deck area, Cruisair air conditioning, genuine leather upholstery, a double eutectic fridge and a massive eutectic freezer in the aft deck, plus a 12v fridge, finger tip operated electric dingy davits, and accommodation of six singles or two singles and two doubles. "DARU" has been maintained by a professional Shipwright so is absolutely ready to go "trouble free" cruising.
A change in family circumstances has forced the owner to place DARU on the market.
Will deliver to anywhere on the East Coast of Australia.
