Kalista. Beautifully maintained cruising yacht. Australian registration.
Built by Swanson. They are a comfortable and capable bluewater cruiser.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our cruising and time living aboard and now it's time to let new owners enjoy.
The fixed Bimini has drop down shade sides that not only allow for a bit of privacy but adds to a more comfortable living area. It has 2 solar panels on top with a viewing panel for sailing. Davits on the rear.
Dinghy is included in sale. It's lightweight and rows like a dream.
The White Beech decks laid over solid glass adds to her classy style. The deck is oiled and very easily maintained.
The Perkins 4108m engine is in very good condition. Has been serviced every 100 hours and has never missed a beat.
The engine is easily accessed from the front and also by the quarter berth.
There is a large lazarette.
The Muir anchor winch has 85 mts of chain and 20 kg Rocna anchor.
Kalista sails gracefully and is well behaved. The autopilot makes passage making easier for the crew.
Photos on slip were taken in January 2024. The hull was stripped back to gelcoat and 2 coats of epoxy primer and 3 coats of antifoul were applied. There was no osmosis.
The interior is very stylish with carpet and custom upholstery, TV and stereo, allowing for comfortable living with good headroom.
The 3 x 110 ah house batteries are more than ample.
The galley is well equipped with gimballed 2 burner and oven. The 100 litre fridge and 40 litre freezer along with the watermaker allows for extended cruising. Hot and cold water to sink. Cork floor in galley.
The large V Berth has a custom made innerspring mattress.
Plenty of cupboard and wardrobe space.
The bathroom has hot and cold shower, basin, storage cupboards, manual pump toilet and more storage behind toilet. The water is set on a timer so if a tap is accidently left on it won't drain your tank.
Photos were taken in January 2026. She is in very good condition.
Extras included. Wichard jack lines. 2 x life jackets with harness, personal AIS and lanyards.
SOS man overboard retrieval ladder. Burke Sea brake and warp. Spare Anchor with chain and warp.
Bosun's chair. Plenty of spare parts.
If you have any queries or would like to book an inspection, just give me a call
