The yacht's classic lines reveal an artistry & elegance which has drawn the eye no matter where she has sailed. Quiver has the quintessential lines of a vintage yacht but with the underwater configuration of a modern sea-going vessel. The yacht's natural grace is further enhanced with a solid teak handrail & bulwark cap. The sailboat's interior boasts quality woodwork with the detail in keeping with her classic appearance.
Launched at Adelaide Marina in 2010/11, she is of modern composite construction, with a Balsa cored deck that is built intact with no seams, no joins, a one piece moulding! She has a West Epoxy hull (Epoxy & glass both inside & out over 28mm western red cedar). She was built to optimum safety standards as per commercial charter requirements according to the USL shipping code.
The initial survey in 2010 for insurance purposes & valuation was completed by marine architect & surveyor Mr. Howard Peachy. This survey was updated for insurance in 2018.

The sailboat is of classic round bilged single screw design, rigged as a mast head sloop.

Underwater, the yacht has a fin lead keel fitted with a spade rudder, the rudder shaft having an 83mm diameter. Her mast is keel-stepped.
CONSTRUCTION AND SURVEY
Construction of the hull is strip-planked Western Red Cedar (28mm) sandwich with 2200 grams per square metre of Triaxial fiberglass on the outside & 1600 GSM of triaxial fiberglass on the inside. The fiberglass is set in epoxy resin.
The deck & cabin top are Balsa cored with a total 6350 GSM of fibre-glass in polyester resin.
Scantlings: 900mm x 230mm Jarrah floors spaced at 450 mm centres & glassed in way of the ballast keel. Longitudinal girders 64mm x 180mm glassed in are fitted either side of the centerline.
The yacht's plans were approved by the Department for Transport Energy and Infrastructure as complying with the USL Code for commercial vessels at the time of construction. The construction, according to the plans, was regularly inspected by the Department's surveyors. The construction integrity of hull and deck as well as all calculations and scantlings accompanying the plans were approved by the Department's naval architect and inspected and signed off by their shipwright inspector.
The trunk cabin and the deck are integrally one build with no joins or seams. Complete construction drawings, stamped and approved by the Dept of Transport are available for inspection. What does this mean for Quiver's owner? It provides assurance that the boat was built to the standards required of a commercial passenger carrying vessel. Some of the other more notable features include the water-tight bulkheads, the sealing ability of the main companionway doors, an air tight engine-compartment that can be closed off completely in the event of a fire, a separate bilge pump system in each compartment & large cockpit drains. Safety equipment include a man-overboard dan-buoy with light fitted, 6 approved life-jackets, up-to-date (evidenced) flares & fire-extinguishers (purchased 2022) & registered EPIRB.

Remarks
The yacht "Quiver' is unique. Its design and construction are professional; she has proven herself on the open sea & her cruising history is testament to her comfort, ease of management and seaworthiness.
She has drawn the eye wherever she has sailed because her appearance of the classic yacht* coupled with her superb modern attributes are unusual. Quiver sails well! She is not cumbersome, rather she turns on a pin. Her sail configuration makes for lovely handling; she makes fast and balanced headway with just the large genoa.
She can be managed with ease as a single handed vessel. She is equipped with more than adequate instrumentation and safety features. The solid teak handrail unusual, in itself, provides extra security.
Her many features including her potential charter capabilities make this yacht a very attractive proposition.
Her designer/builder Mr. Rob Lane has a lifetime of boating experience. He was a professional working sailing instructor, teacher of navigation and sailing theory with the TAFE Maritime Unit for many years. He has years of chartering and cruising experience. He is well qualified with an AYF Yachtmaster Certificate (endorsed to instructor level) and a Master Class 5 (Sailing).
All this contribute an expertise and integrity to the sale of this yacht.
Reason for sale: a new boat for the family will shortly be ready for launching, sadly we must part with 'Quiver".
*Note on 'classic yacht'& Quiver.
What is a classic yacht? The modern classic combines the grace of the traditional 19th century classic idiom with modern materials & performance-enhancing underbody & rig. The ideal design followed up with quality construction & attention to practical considerations provides the sailor with safety, comfort & ease of handling, without compromising on the aesthetics. The classic yacht must be pleasing to the eye with long overhangs and elegant lines. The modern classic yacht will draw the remark: "Wow, she's beautiful".
When he designed and built Quiver, Rob's driving desire was encapsulated in these few words: "I want to build a beautiful boat. "
She has drawn compliments wherever she has sailed; she has cruised the local South Australian waters extensively and explored the east coast of Australia cruising to Port Douglas & back. In all conditions, she has performed well providing safety, comfort & joy. She is ideal for short-handed sailing; her rig and her push-button winches make for ease of handling. Below decks are spacious & airy. Practicalities not to be discounted she is beautiful without the glitz of varnished exteriors, comfortable without diminishing performance or safety. The fact she is built to survey provides the owner with the confidence that Quiver can 'weather any storm. ' She is certainly ideal for long distance cruising with ample water & diesel tanks as well as a water-maker. Quiver is a unique 'package'.
