A unique opportunity to acquire a large volume, proven world cruiser, at an entry price point. Originally launched in Europe in 2003 and extensively cruised. This boat has had several upgrades along the way and is now on offer, to start the next adventure.
The spacious cockpit features twin wheel steering and centre ice box. Downstairs you will find two rear double cabins, with an additional twin cabin forward to starboard and the master V-Berth upfront providing a total of 8 sleeping berths in cabins, plus an additional 2 berths can be created on the drop-down Saloon table.
Two modern bathrooms are fitted with toilet and shower facilities. The large Galley features refrigerator, which is supplemented by a standalone 60 litre Kings fridge, a 2 x Burner Stove, (oven not functional), twin sinks with flip mixer, substantial storage and workspace.
The 360 litre water tank is supplemented by a Spectra Ventura 24 lph watermaker.
The dining area comfortably accommodates 8 guests around the dining table, and is well lit from overhead hatches, which also provide flow through ventilation.
On deck, the triple spreader swept back sloop rig features Dacron furling main and genoa, with a Gennaker for enhanced off wind performance.
The Volvo Penta D2 60hp was replaced in 2016 and is capable of achieving 9 knots at top speed, or extended long range cruising, approx fuel burn 2 L p/hour at 7 knots - 1800 rpm.
There is an extensive list of work that has been completed in recent years, which will be available to interested parties. Including a full hull clean and antifoul this year.
The boat has been well priced to sell as there is some deterioration in the woodwork interior and cockpit and a list of maintenance tasks to address. This owner is motivated to move on and offers this as an accessible way for a capable new owner with sometime and skills, to get into a large volume, world cruising boat, at an affordable price.
