**One of the most comprehensively upgraded and best-presented Spacesailer 27s available. **
King Canute is a professionally refitted and continuously maintained cruiser-racer combining manageable size, comfortable accommodation and proven sailing capability with a 2019 Volvo Penta diesel, renewed rigging, integrated B&G electronics and an unusually extensive sail wardrobe.
Unlike many yachts of this age, she has been actively sailed and progressively improved rather than left with a backlog of deferred maintenance. She is ready for coastal cruising, weekends away or club racing without an immediate refit program.
Why King Canute stands apart
* 2019 Volvo Penta 18hp diesel, saildrive and feathering propeller
* Standing rigging renewed between 2020 and 2024
* New halyards and professional rig inspection in January 2026
* Comprehensive professional repaint and refit
* B&G chartplotter, Triton instruments, AIS, VHF and tiller pilot
* Three AGM batteries, charger and shore power
* Extensive cruising and racing sail wardrobe
* Full six-foot headroom and up to six berths
* Separate toilet compartment and practical galley
* Encapsulated fin keel with no keel bolts
* ORCi Stability Index 120.5
* Documented refit, invoices and maintenance history
Professionally maintained by Perth Shipwrights, Bay Marine, Rigging WA and Clough Marine Electronics.
Reproducing this level of equipment, professional work and presentation in a standard Spacesailer 27 would require substantial additional investment.
Located at South of Perth Yacht Club. Please enquire to arrange an inspection or request the comprehensive refit, maintenance and sail inventory documentation.
