## Engine and service history
Interlude is powered by a 35 hp Nanni Marine Diesel installed in 2014 by Seawasp Brisbane, with confirmed engine hours of 650. This represents relatively low use for a diesel engine of this type, although its condition and maintenance history remain important considerations.
In 2024, a new Nanni diesel gearbox was professionally replaced by Sea Wasp, providing an important mechanical upgrade.
The included Yamaha 9.9 hp two-stroke outboard also has a service history with Yamaha in Burleigh Heads (Gold Coast Boating Centre).
## Significant upgrades and improvements
Interlude has benefited from numerous upgrades since the July 2021 marine survey, including:
**Navigation and electrical**
- New Raymarine chartplotter
- New Raymarine wind instrument
- New Raymarine autopilot, professionally installed in 2025 by Sea Switch Marine Electrics
- New Victron 1,200 W inverter, professionally installed in 2025 by Sea Switch Marine Electrics
- New 400 W SunPower solar panels
- New house and starter batteries
**Mechanical and anchoring**
- New Nanni diesel gearbox, professionally installed by Sea Wasp in 2025
- New anchor winch motor and gearbox, professionally installed in 2025 by Sea Switch Marine Electrics
**Comfort and onboard equipment**
- All windows replaced in 2024
- New Jabsco manual toilet in 2026
- New Magma barbecue in 2026
**Tender and outboard**
- Highfield Classic 2.9 m Hypalon tender
- Yamaha 9.9 hp two-stroke outboard with service history
These improvements are in addition to other upgrades and maintenance carried out over the years.
## Sails, rigging and deck equipment
The 2021 marine survey recorded a sail wardrobe supplied by UK-Halsey, including mainsail, furling genoa and mizzen sails dating from 2018, together with spare sails and a spinnaker.
The standing rigging was replaced in 2018. Survey reports the alloy masts, booms and spinnaker pole are in good condition.
Other equipment recorded in the survey includes:
- Five Maxwell winches
- Three anchors, including a Manson Supreme
- Approximately 60 m of galvanised anchor chain
- Electric anchor windlass
- Stainless steel pulpit, pushpit and davits
- Canvas bimini and dodger
## Comfortable cruising accommodation
The centre-cockpit configuration provides a practical layout for coastal cruising and extended stays aboard.
Accommodation and onboard facilities include:
- Forward double berth
- Aft double cabin
- Main saloon with seating and dining table
- Additional settee berths
- Galley with four-burner stove and oven
- Built-in fridge/freezer
- Pressurised freshwater system
- Shower and toilet compartment
- Teak and rattan interior cabinetry
The survey described the interior as being in good condition for the vessel's age at the time of inspection.
## Previous marine survey
A pre-purchase and insurance survey was completed by Marine Surveyors Australia on 20 July 2021, with the vessel inspected out of the water at Runaway Bay Marina.
The survey described Interlude as well constructed and in good condition for her age at that time. It also identified maintenance items requiring attention.
The report is available for prospective purchasers to review. As it dates from 2021, it should be treated as a historical survey rather than an assessment of the vessel's current condition.
## A well-equipped cruising package
Interlude offers a substantial package for anyone looking for a classic Australian cruising yacht with useful upgrades already completed.
Highlights include the low recorded engine hours, Nanni gearbox replacement, 2018 sail wardrobe, replacement windows, modern Raymarine navigation and autopilot, Victron inverter, solar power and included Highfield tender with Yamaha outboard.
**Location:** Tweed Heads, NSW
**Asking price:** $75,000 AUD
Inspections by appointment. Serious enquiries welcome.
