'RAPTOR' is the first of the Elliott 9.6 models built in 1994 in Melbourne (promotional material attached here for reference) and completed the Sydney-Hobart race shortly after.
Though primarily a racing boat, there is enough accomodation for a small family or crew to live aboard during a regatta or short coastal cruising.
For racing, the boat is a good performer both inshore and off and loves to surf. It planes readily in flat water and with enough pressure easily achieving 12 knots under spinnaker. When surfing, 15kts+ can be expected.
The current owner has owned Raptor for 20 years but due to circumstances has not sailed much in the last 5-6 years and made the decision to sell the boat.
Since then, the boat has been undergoing a small refit with some cosmetic work still to be done.
- New 2 bladed folding prop and reconditioned sail drive October 2025.
- New triple rope clutch (unused)
- New primary winches approx 2021
- Wireless B&G Vulcan chart plotter and Triton II display approx 2022.
- A full wardrobe of racing sails most of which are less than 5 years old
- Cat 4 Safety capable
