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 750L of water, 378L fuel capacity & great construction. Plus the grand master suite, a huge island bed, separate toilet / 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 lit and 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 Kimberley's & 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 are currently sailing her from Darwin after spending 2025 season in the Kimberley, now heading back to the GC.
She has been well maintained with haul-outs along the way, (Antifoul last Aug - 4 coats of International paints Sea Hawk Blue).
During our cruising years, we have been attending to boat jobs as and when they have arisen. Eg New water pump, Balmar alternator, Gearbox, Engine mounts, Tides marine dripless lip seal & cutlass bearing.
Current owners purchased her mid 2023 and undertook over $150k in renovations including, New Sails, New Rigging and Saloon cushions, plus a full cut and polish of the whole vessel waterline up.
Since then she has received regular service checks, polishing and general boat maintenance, including both main and genset engine, winches, sumps, windlass etc.. Owners are fastidious professional skippers, plus the off grid cruising we enjoy, requires us to carry a number of additional spares on board for emergencies. Ie starter motor, filters, impellers. Maintenance logs etc
-Call Sharon on or Shane for more images or info.
