A rare opportunity. It's not often vessels of historic significance come on the market, even less often when they have been re-furbished and renovated, such as Wangadir. Built by Watson and Wright in Brisbane, launched 1940, served in WWII before later plying Northern waters as a Coastal cargo carrier before being converted to a recreation vessel. Significantly restored and renovated in 2015 and subsequently as a private recreational cruiser and on the Register as an historic vessel since 2008. Wangadir is Gardiner powered; the engine also being restored by Bryant Brothers in 2015. She is a spacious coastal cruiser with old world charm and some modern conveniences, the best of both worlds. Beautifully presented, classy and elegant, historic yet with modern appliances and equipment.
