Interior and Accommodation
Her interior exudes understated elegance with thoughtful design and comfortable accommodation. Beautifully finished in cedar and huon pine with celery top floor boards, her warm tones and subtle mood lighting evoke a sense of serenity. The large saloon windows provide 360deg visibility when at sea, while stylish custom fitted shades provide privacy and screening from the sun allowing guests and crew to enjoy crusing the coastal waterways from the comfort of the lounge. The layout suits a couple with generous accommodation in the bow, with space for occasional guests in the saloon.
Under Way / Performance
Enjoy sailing in the protected cockpit or relish the 360 degree views from the comfort of her raised saloon. The choice is yours. With furling headsail and an mps in a sock there are options for cruising on all points of sail. The fully battened mainsail is fitted with roller cars to enable a smooth and effortless hoist or drop from the sail bag. Lioness sits happily on 6.5kts on a beam reach in light airs but will push well beyond this with a fresh breeze with no concerns of weather helm due to her custom made sails and hydraulic steering system.
Summary
Built from a selection of Western Red Cedar, Celery Pine, Teak and Huon pine, and finished in epoxy, Lioness is a truly magnificent example of a modern timber yacht. With many of the characteristics of a power boat, she appeals to keen sailors alike with an easily managed sloop rig and a very impressive turn of speed under sail.
Whether you're an experienced sailor looking to downsize without losing the joy of sailing, or an adventurous cruiser wanting to explore coastal and local waters in style, Lioness offers an unmatched balance of beauty, performance, and practicality.

Remarks
Construction
All construction is solid timber with some marine plywood used for panneling. The hull and spars are finished in Awlgrip paint (A fresh coat of Awlcraft polymer applied to topsides - Aug 2025). Full vessel drawings and photos of the build are available.
Owner Notes
The vessel is a high quality professional build, fully fibreglassed inside and out and painted with quality 2 pack Alwcraft paints. The bright work was all refreshed in 2025 and re-varnished with Awlwood usually 2 coats applied at about 2 year intervals.
The boat was designed for Tasmanian conditions and is extremely sea worthy. She is a low maintenacne vessel and also sails exceptionally well and will cruise easily at 6.5 knots under sail.
