Where Performance Meets Cruising Comfort

This is a rare opportunity to own a yacht with proven offshore pedigree and inviting cruising comfort, a beautifully appointed Rob Carpenter designed sloop that seamlessly blends the spirit of adventure with the comforts of home. More than just a cruiser, Celebration has proven her calibre on the international scene, proudly competing in the renowned Melbourne Osaka Cup (shorthanded Division class C)--a true test of endurance, performance, and seaworthiness. Celebration has also competed in the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht race.

She offers an exceptional balance of offshore capability and a welcoming interior design. Celebration is designed for ease of handling and extended liveaboard enjoyment, ideal for a couple or for the single-handed sailor. This is an ideal vessel for the sailor who appreciates both spirited sailing and relaxed onboard living. She represents a turnkey opportunity for those seeking a dependable, well-appointed yacht. Her current owners have spared no effort in keeping her fully equipped and in top condition with the care and passion this yacht deserves.

She displays a genuine blue water cruising pedigree having spent five years cruising the Pacific following the Melbourne Osaka Cup. Once Celebration returned the Australia she continued with extensive cruising along the Australian east coast. With a spacious and comfortable Interior, she has a light-filled saloon and a highly functional galley. There are two double berths plus a secure quarter berth and two sea berths, perfect for extended cruising or relaxed weekends.

Her enduring design coupled with a quality build, guarantees many more years of cruising for Celebration and her new owners.
