Drake Motor Sailor 30 KELPIE for sale with DBY Boat Sales.
This unique Tasmanian-Built Motor Sailor has got the Character, Strength & Soul.
Built in 1988 by the renowned Drake Shipyard in Triabunna, Tasmania, this truly one-of-a-kind motor sailor was designed with the unmistakable presence of a working boat -- purposeful, solid, and honest.
Step aboard and you immediately feel the care, dedication, and pride poured into her by her owner over many years. She retains her sturdy, no-nonsense character, while offering a warm and practical interior suited to simple, comfortable cruising. The late owner has kept a log book to tell the story of this unique boat.
Below deck, the layout is ideal for a couple, with accommodation for two, a toilet, cabin heating, and a functional galley with hot and cold water. Everything has been designed with practicality and reliability in mind.
Power comes from a Perkins diesel engine, sensibly installed with excellent access via a large deck hatch, making maintenance straightforward -- a feature seasoned boat owners will truly appreciate.
This vessel will appeal to a like-minded owner who values strength over gloss, character over conformity, and enjoys owning something genuinely different. She is not a production boat -- she is a purpose-built Tasmanian motor sailor with real personality.
The boat is offered as is, where is, and comes with a variety of electronics and a generous supply of spare parts.
If you're looking for a tough, character-filled motor sailor with a story to tell and many more chapters ahead, this unique vessel deserves your inspection.
Open to offers.
