Its balanced helm, hydraulic backstay, and spacious cockpit ensure effortless sail handling and precise control. "Groove" is an excellent example of the design and has been a regular competitor in the Hobart racing scene since it was purchased by its current owner in 2015. The vessel has also benefited from significant upgrades including A NEW 2018 MAST AND STANDING RIGGING and NEW 2020 DOVELL DESIGNED RUDDER FOR ADDITIONAL CONTROL (Plus new rudder bearings). This vessel also features a comprehensive sail inventory including DOYLE STRATIS MAINSAIL, FULL SET OF HEADSAILS, SYMMETRICAL AND ASYMMETRICAL SPINNAKERS, AND A FURLING CODE 0.

The accommodation is ideal for weekends away with family and friends, or the full race crew. It features a double v-berth forward, two king single quarter berths aft, and a single settee berth in the saloon when additional accommodation is required. The package is complete with bathroom with toilet and vanity.

Outside, the open cockpit is ideal for competitive racing, whilst keeping everything close to hand for shorthanded sailing or leisurely cruising. The quality Harken self tailing winches, highly purchased mainsheet system, and all lines lead aft to the cabin top make for easy sail handling and manoeuvring. The large wheel is a great feature of the Sydney Yachts designs and provides excellent feel for the helm. Having had a complete new mast and rigging added in 2018, and a full sail wardrobe, this impressive vessel has everything you need to put its next owner on the podium!
