Custom 42' Cutter Rigged Ketch Just Listed

It's hard not to be impressed with this nicely designed and exceptionally well built, blue water cruising ketch. Designed and built in Port Moresby by her original owner, Minot's Light II has sailed extensively throughout the Pacific, NZ and Eastern Australia. She has just completed a short handed voyage from Hobart Tasmania where her current owner recently purchased her. Unfortunately due to unexpected health issues, the voyage has prematurely ended and she is to be sold.
Undergoing a re-fit over the past 10 years she's had her Yanmar 54hp diesel installed in 2014, a complete re-spray, upgraded electronics and systems, new sails, solar power, new standing rigging in 2020, and prior to her departure from Hobart in May 2025, a new autohelm and new Raymarine chartplotter along with Navionics charts to cover the Australian coast. What is now on offer is a vessel in a ready-to-sailaway condition; simply provision and go with the only foreseeable short term outlay is re-antifouling in the next few months.
Whilst perfectly suited to solo or short handed sailing she is also very capable of accommodating a small family who can take comfort in her spacious, secure layout. She offers a fibreglass bimini with removable clears that can partially enclosed the cockpit if required, spacious decks loads of storage space above and below decks, a pristine engine with fuel capacity of 475 litres providing a motor-sailing range in excess of 1'000nm at 6 knots. Fastidious buyers on a budget are encouraged to contact Australiawide Boat Sales, Manly Qld to arrange an inspection, they are sure to be impressed.
