Top Hat 25 MK II - Pocket Cruiser

Kookaburra is a well-maintained Top Hat 25 Mark II and has undergone an extensive refurbishment, resulting in a comfortable and capable pocket cruising yacht that's ready to sail away.

Renowned for their solid construction and economical cruising performance, the Top Hat 25 punches well above its size. One famously circumnavigated the globe -- sailed by Jan and Ian Mitchell aboard Caprice from 1974 to 1977 -- an adventure later chronicled in the book Two in a Top Hat.

With more than 400 Top Hats launched, an active owners' group, and a Facbook community group, this is your opportunity to join a proud and supportive class of sailors.

Currently berthed at Hillarys Yacht Club, this is not a project boat -- she's sailed regularly every Thursday and is fully ready for your next adventure.

Includes inflatable tender (with electric pump) and Honda 2HP motor.
