Tub Thumper - Sail Number 52 from South Coast is an approximate 1989 build. We purchased Tub Thumper from Paynesville in 2013 where it was very successful club racer, we have had 12 wonderful seasons based at the Mornington Yacht Club.
We have predominantly raced Tub Thumper with numerous series wins and twice recipient's of Boat of the Year award at MYC.
Tub Thumper is well set up for both cruising and racing - All carbon main and jibs (1,2 & 3 as a self tacker) and two spinnakers. Self tailing main winches to top it all off.
Outboard is a 9.9Hp Yamaha 4 stroke with a spare prop.
Hydraulic keel ram was refurbished in 2025. Standing rigging replaced in 2017.
Interior is tidy with plenty of spares - Removable boarding ladder and No. 2 and 3 adjustable spinnaker pole.
The Mackay tandem trailer has been fully re- furbished, electric brakes and break away system, fitted easy hoist mast extension beam.
We have recently moved on to a keel boat, so are willing sellers.
