Hull Material
Composite The yachts strength comes from the the Fibreglass over Balsa core material.
Take advantage of the current USD/AUD exchange rate and the yachts current position just south of some of the best cruising grounds in the world. With the Great Barrier Reef, NZ, South Pacific Islands and SE Asia easily within her reach, she should appeal to sailors looking to tick off some of these without the huge passages involved coming from USA or EUROPE. The Deerfoot 50 has been designed with a few really important things in mind for the serious sailor. Firstly, she is a reasonably fast ocean going cruiser. Secondly the yacht has been built to a strength to allow those speeds to be kept up, in most conditions encountered. The final piece of the puzzle for the designers was to come up with both an internal layout that matched her performance and a cockpit design to allow for safe passages. All accomplished nicely. The solid dodger and easy access forward from the cockpit will equate to a very safe and comfortable passagemaker. She is an exceptional yacht for a cruising couple and is fast, easy to manage and thoughtfully designed for maximum safety and comfort for two. She features watertight bulkheads, walk-in engine room, king size island berth, gourmet cook's galley, full complement of marine electronics. No expense was spared to produce this quality yacht. The yacht has had many recent upgrades including but not limited to instrumentation and sails, rigging including standing rigging and running rigging. Really you only need to load personal possession's and head off.

Accommodation
Entering down the five companionway stairs out of the large cockpit the vessel opens up to show her real size. To starboard you have a well laid out L shaped galley with storage throughout, including lockers, drawers and shelving. Behind the companionway is another bench with power panel above. Access to the engine room and and workshop is aft again through a watertight door. The workshop has a bench and allows great access to the engine and all systems in here. Back out and to portside, reveals the dedicated head, shower and vanity cabin. Nicely laid out in here with a single stainless steel vanity basin with mixer over and lockers below and above. A very nice touch throughout the yacht is the branded bathroom towels and the like. The head sits to the rear of this cabin and there are towel rails along the inside bulkhead and a large mirror on the forward of the bulkhead. A fan moves the moist air out and keeps the cabin dry when needed. Moving forward from here back into the main cabin you have the dedicated navigation station. Everything is at hand here and it presents in a very tidy manner. A full sized chart draw under the nav table and storage lockers below again. Another large screen can double as a slave to the chartplotter.
Forward of here there is a long settee (doubles as a single berth) with a pipe cot (or storage ) above and behind. Access through to the forward cabin is not impeded by the large saloon table with its fold down section allowing easier access to the saloon seating. This is in a U shaped pattern and will provide seating for approx seven or eight. Grab rails above for when transiting through the yacht at sea. Upholstery is in good condition. Behind and to starboard is a second pipe cot (or storage) Two fans here and another in the galley. Above and on centre line is a large opening deck hatch. Forward again you enter the large owners cabin. Here you find the semi walk around double berth on centerline and shelving port and starboard. Good sized lockers to both port and starboard. Fans again assist with air movement here. All in all the yacht presents very nicely and has a light and airy feel to her.
Solar Vents in head and galley areas.
Four x Dorades through the deck.

Remarks
Having been aboard this yacht during the listing process, we can say that she is presented in exceptional condition and should survey well. There have been many upgrades undertaken by her owner and these will stand a new owner in a very comfortable place. She is ready to go and will take on the world oceans should you chose to do so. Very well set up global cruiser that has all that's needed for offshore passage-making. Be it across to NZ, up into the SE Pacific or further afield out into the Indian Ocean for the more adventurous, she should provide a fast platform and easily handled by a cruising couple. Loads of recent upgrades including rigging.
