FURTHER REDUCED - MUST BE SOLD: The 1982 built Sparkman & Stephens 39 "Magic" was raced extensively offshore and at club level for many years, achieving consistently good results. She carries race memento plaques for no less than Seventy (70) ORCV offshore events along with 8 gruelling Sydney to Hobart races. In recent years, she has had a quieter life, participating in club races, mid-week and twilight social racing. A Victorian sailing legend and a past Club champion at Sandringham Y C, "Magic" has more than proved her worth as a safe, solid and reliable yacht.
She is solidly built and has a good sail wardrobe, wheel steering, autopilot, Furling headsails and Electric primary winches to make handling easy, She has Raymarine and Garmin electronics, HF and VHF radios, a reliable diesel engine and a comfortable interior for the odd weekend away if you choose to cruise. Well maintained by her long-time owner who has now retired from sailing, she is BARGAIN priced and represents exceptional value. Slipped, cleaned, hull polished and antifouled, new shaft seal and engine serviced in May 2026 so she is ready to sail away.
For further information or to arrange an inspection at Sandringham Yacht Club marina, please call Chris Furey on or complete the on-line enquiry form
