Birdsall

A beautifully maintained example of a modern Kiwi classic, designed by the renowned Beau Birdsall. Built in 1964, double-diagonal Kauri and glassed to the waterline, this yacht blends timeless craftsmanship with practical upgrades for comfortable, enjoyable sailing.

With her generous cockpit, excellent outdoor flow, and easily managed sail plan, she is a pleasure to handle—single-handed or with crew. A large aft deck and oversized lazarette provide exceptional storage and versatility.

Recent upgrades include new topside paint (2025), a full solar system (2024), rigging inspection (2024), and a new engine manifold (2024), making her tidy, reliable, and ready for her next owner.
