Nestle Name: Serenity 111
Location Hope Harbour Marina

Serenity III is a Sparkman and Stephens designed 52 built by Eric Goetze in Long Island, New York to the IOR rating system and launched as Golden Eagle in 1983.

Goetz boats have been winners at the highest end of international yacht racing for many years with some of his yachts winning in the America's Cup, Admiral's Cup, and Maxi Worlds and have competed successfully in the TP52 circuit, the Whitbread/Volvo race, Transpac, Kenwood Cup, Southern Cross Series, Sardinia Cup, and countless other regattas around the world.

Serenity III herself has a long list of accomplishments from racing on the east coast of the USA and has competed in Cowes week and the Fastnet race in the UK before completing Atlantic and Pacific Ocean crossings to arrive in Australia in the mid 90's where she has participated in many Hamilton Island Race Weeks and finished a creditable 15 th in Div A in the 97' Sydney to Hobart.

She has recently undergone a keel up restoration by the current shipwright owner who wanted to retain her authentic look and feel but with modern features, making for a fast yet comfortable ocean racing yacht with style. Her hull is constructed of triple diagonal cedar planking and the decks are of ply with Nomex honeycomb core and Thermalboard then glassed with epoxy resin so she is light yet strong. Nothing has been overlooked during the refit with all new standing and running rigging, fuel tanks removed and cleaned and reinstalled with new lines, the Yanmar engine installed in 2009 and with just 386 genuine hours has been serviced, new B & G instrumentation, all winches serviced, new sails, engine serviced, water maker added, all new lighting including underwater lights, all electrical wiring and plumbing replaced, new hatch lenses throughout, new electric toilets installed, new spraydodger and bimini plus custom stainless davits to carry the inflatable tender....... The list just goes on and on.

Below deck Serenity III looks and feels modern, light and comfortable with all new upholstery and head linings, beautiful original Birds Eye Maple cabinetwork, Mahogany trim and Teak / Holly floors. She has a large volume, spacious saloon with a well appointed galley, forward facing nav table and a huge aft owners cabin with ensuite bathroom. Forward of the keel stepped mast is a bunk cabin on the starboard side with head opposite, wet gear hanging locker and in the bow is a large storage/workspace cabin.
Survey reports and photos of the restoration are available to genuine enquirers.

This is a rare opportunity to own a boat with great pedigree, history, performance and creature comfort.
