Custom 65ft Sailing Ketch Just Listed

LOACTION || Sydney Harbour. Please call for more info and to arrange an inspection.

Island Time is a beautifully appointed, heavy weather capable blue water explorer with true long term live-aboard capabilities.

Built in Fremantle at the Gosnell yard in 1986, this blue water cruiser was built to last, with her current condition and presentation a testament to the owner's recent restoration & refit works.

With accommodation for up to 9 guests across generous berths, and lounges converting for additional sleeping, the layout is well suited to both comfortable liveaboard use and extended cruising. Multiple living and mess areas provide plenty of space to relax and enjoy life on board during longer passages or time at anchor.

The reliable Perkins 6-cylinder 240hp diesel engine cruises comfortably at around 8 knots under power alone while consuming approximately 7 litres per hour. She'll also do a comfortable 8 knots under full sail delivering an impressive cruising range.

Her condition for her age, combined with the solid build and reassuring feel of Island Time, makes her an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a capable ocean going yacht with many more miles of exploration ahead.
