'Philosopher' is a 2007 Sydney 36CR listed exclusively for sale with YOTI on Sydney Harbour.

Boats are often described as well-maintained and meticulously prepared, but very few genuinely live up to that. 'Philosopher' is one of those yachts that sets a standard that is rarely seen.

IRC optimised and absolutely turnkey, 'Philosopher' is ready for anything. Beautifully presented inside and out, she has been meticulously maintained, comprehensively upgraded and prepared to an exceptional standard, with virtually all major systems either replaced, upgraded or professionally serviced.

The fully documented maintenance history is truly something to behold, with an extensive list of recent works and upgrades including:
Current CAT 1 certification, valid through to 30 June 2027
Antifoul, polish and Prop-Speed completed August 2026
New propeller fitted July 2026
Engine serviced November 2025
New Whalespars mast, standing rigging and running rigging fitted July 2025
New state-of-the-art electronics/navigation package installed throughout 2024-2025
New rudder bearings fitted September 2024
Grand Prix standard sail wardrobe, including four brand new sails
Survey report from Jun 2026 available

The inventory is equally impressive, with 'Philosopher' loaded with equipment and set up to go sailing without the usual list of jobs and upgrades. Not just a race boat, she still features a comfortable interior for weekend getaways. Whether racing competitively on Sydney Harbour, or lining up for the Sydney Hobart, she offers the performance and capability of a serious racing yacht without compromising on presentation or practicality.

For those looking for a do-it-all yacht that has been genuinely cared for and upgraded to an extremely high standard, 'Philosopher' is a standout example. There is nothing to spend -- simply step aboard and go sailing.
