2000 Hunter 460 the flagship of the Hunter range. Built with safety, cruising, easy to sail from the cockpit, spacious condo style living and value for money in mind. She boasts a raft of great features including walkthrough sugar scoop, shoal draft wing keel, huge 800L of water, 378L fuel capacity & great construction. Plus the grand master suite, a huge island bed, separate toliet / shower rooms plus the basin and more storage than you can imagine, coupled with AC and cabin fans, makes living aboard full time very comfortable.
-She is a perfect example of classic quality, very well equipped, large volumes and the light airy, brightness and airflow of this boat are remarkable!
-She is well balanced under sail, she sails well and loves a good strong breeze, she also motors well (with the best Yanmar series including turbo for those times where you need an extra boost).
She has a tremendous amount of power in the secure B&R rig (with struts) she was rerigged in 2023 by professional rigger Jason Randall on the Gold Coast.
Liberty VI has been set up for liveaboard-ing off-grid by her current owners, who have sailed her from Gold Coast to Broome with only a few stops to reprovision, the last 2 years we have sailed and lived on her, even when in marinas during cyclone seasons, ie Airlie Beach & Darwin.
-We (current owners) are currently back in Darwin after spending 2025 season in the Kimberley, now heading back East for 2026 cruising season.
She has been well maintained with haul-outs along the way, (Antifoul last Aug - 4 coats of International paints Sea Hawk Blue),
During our 2025 Epic Kimberley crusing we have been attending to boat jobs as and when they have arisen. Eg New water pump in July 2025 general serivce and cleaning. Balmar alternator replaced proir to arriving in Darwin, we replaced the Gearbox (Kanzaki) in Gove Oct 2024, New engine mounts and installed a Tides marine dripless lip seal to the shaft in July 2024.
Current owners purchased her mid 2023 and undertook over $150k in renovations including, replaceing PSS seal, New Sails, New Rigging and Saloon coushions, plus a full cut and polish of the whole vessel waterline up.
Since she has recived regular serivce checks, polishing and general boat maintenance, incluing both man and genset engine, winches, sumps, windlass etc.. Owners are fastisias professional skippers, plus the off grid crusing we enjoy requires us to carry a number of addtional spares on board for emergencies. Ie starter motor, filters, impellers. Maintenance logs are available with a signed contract.
Owners have recently cut short an extended kimberley experdition to attend to family matters at home, sadly are now considering selling her in Darwin, which is great for you as shes - All ready to go for you explore The Kimberley next season or easy an jump to Indo. (she is Aussie registered ) all you need are your bathers.
