Welcome aboard 'Nyala', a beautifully maintained 42' Bridgedeck Motor Cruiser that exudes timeless craftsmanship and refined heritage. Built in 1955 by Jack Clark, her Spotted Gum and Queensland Maple hull offers both strength and elegance, ensuring she remains a standout wherever she goes. A beloved icon of Moreton Bay, 'Nyala' has been impeccably preserved and enhanced, reflecting a true labor of love and attention to detail.
With a 12'5´´ beam and 4" draft, she provides excellent stability and generous space, making her ideal for comfortable cruising. Powered by a reliable 120HP Iveco diesel engine with only 350 hours of use, she glides effortlessly through the water at 8 knots. A suite of Raymarine electronics at the helm ensures a smooth and safe voyage, blending modern reliability with classic charm.
Over the years, 'Nyala' has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded. From her artisan-crafted stanchions to her bespoke Douglas Fir mast and self-furling headsail, every element has been carefully considered for both practicality and beauty. She has played host to distinguished guests, including members of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and was an escort vessel for the Royal Yacht Britannia during the 1963 Royal Tour, reinforcing her status as a vessel of significance.
Having cruised extensively from Brisbane to Sydney and as far as Lord Howe Island, Nyala is a proven and capable vessel, ready for her next custodian. Whether you're a seasoned boatie, a collector, or someone who appreciates classic design, 'Nyala' offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of maritime history.
