Wombi is a go-anywhere, Australian registered ship that has just recently returned from a trip to Lord Howe Island. She has cruised us safely and comfortably between Sydney to Townsville over the past 6 years providing endless joy, but it's time to move on, so she's looking for her next (fourth) owner to take her on new adventures here or abroad. Known for their reliability, safety and sea-keeping, the Swanson 38s have travelled the world, earning the reputation of being simple, practical yachts.
