Grainger 50 Custom - Available mid November 2025. Just Listed

Safiri is perfect for anyone looking for a top-quality offshore cruising catamaran with performance, safety and comfort in equal measures. Safiri is currently cruising Vanuatu and will be availble for inspection mid November at the Gold Coast and then in Sydney by December.

Launched in 2012, Safiri is based on the sought after Grainger 48.5S design. Tony Grainger drew up custom modifications for the owner, including a walk-through cockpit, extended sugar scoops and bows, higher ceilings and a unique internal layout. Safiri was built by Hart Marine who were renowned for extremely strong, high-quality yacht builds before they branched into pilot boat production.

A major refit was carried out in 2022 which included the extension of the cockpit roof line, electrical and electronic upgrades and the addition of equipment required for extended off shore and remote cruising.

Sailing two circuits of the Pacific over 3 years taking in Tasmania, New Zealand, Tonga, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Fiji and Vanuatu, Safiri took our family to some spectacular and remote locations performing exceptionally well in all conditions. Safiri's upwind ability and kind seafaring qualities gave us the confidence to seek adventure beyond our normal limits. Https://facebook. Com/cruisingkents

Long passages and rough seas are made comfortable by the waterline length, high bridge deck, wide beam, internal insulation and a huge saloon area that features a large leather upholstered sofa and soft coverings floor to ceiling. Tasmanian Myrtle timber is used throughout providing a bright, soft tone adding an element of luxury. We'll be sad to say goodbye to Safiri as our girls begin the final years of high school.

Visitors are always surprised by the space and livability Safiri affords in all living areas including the double-sided galley, two king size and two double size cabins, a bathroom with a huge vanity unit and shower. Hatches throughout provide ample light and ventilation keeping Safiri cool and comfortable in the tropics. Ceiling heights are 1.85m in the saloon and just over 2m in the hulls.

Safiri can be sailed single handed with the assistance of electric winches, a remote controlled auto pilot and a deck layout that is wide and stable making it extremlely easy to move about safely. The main is raised at the mast and all sails trimmed from the cockpit with large Anderson stainless steel winches.

Come and see Safiri, you won't be disappointed.
