Don't let her size fool you--'Songline' is one of the most capable and well-appointed liveaboard cruisers we've come across under 38ft. Built for offshore and long-distance sailing, this 36-foot cutter-rigged yacht is exceptionally robust and offers impressive liveaboard comfort and safety. With a powerful 50hp Yanmar engine, long-range tanks, and an extensive list of cruising upgrades, she's ready to continue her voyaging story with new owners. Professionally set up for safe, shorthanded sailing from her deep, protected centre cockpit, Songline has proven herself offshore with both a young family and a solo sailor.
Fitted out in 2022 for a South Pacific loop through New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and New Zealand, Songline returned to Australia in March 2023. She has since cruised the East Coast with continued upgrades. Her two-cabin layout, generous storage, and thoughtful deck configuration make her highly liveable and ideal for a couple, small family, or solo adventurer.
Her current condition and level of equipment speak volumes, with recent additions including new sails, solar, outboard, life raft, windlass, and upholstery--plus comprehensive safety gear including a new life raft. Songline is turn-key and ready to go, currently lying in Manly, Brisbane.

Accommodation
Songline boasts a surprisingly spacious and practical interior for a 36-footer, with two private cabins--forward and aft--and a centrally located head for excellent separation and privacy. Natural light fills the space through multiple hatches and opening ports, and generous storage is found throughout. The saloon received new upholstery in 2024.
To port, the U-shaped dinette converts to a double berth for guests, while a full-length single berth with lee cloth to starboard makes an ideal pilot berth underway. A drop-down chart table sits beside the companionway for easy access.
The main switch panel is within arm's reach of the cockpit, and the galley sink is conveniently located to port. Batteries and the fuel tank are securely housed in the large engine bay, freeing up storage under both saloon settees.
