OFFSHORE CRUISING YACHT

Classic Kiwi keeler built by A.K.Porter Marine to a custom Paul Whiting design from three skinned heart kauri, copper riveted to big laminated frames and epoxy 'glassed over. Hull thickness 26mm - all stainless fasteners - chain plates etc - renewed over last few years. Her easily driven hull and modest rig make her a safe and quick passagemaker. 200l fuel and 300l fresh water in stainless steel tanks and she is driven by a 4JH5E (54 hp) Yanmar diesel, conscientiously maintained by marine engineer owner and low hours, through a hydraulic gearbox and three bladed Gori folding prop. She does six knots @ 1800 rpm. Three anchors : 2x CQR plus working anchor with 70m newly galvanised 10mm chain. Aries wind vane self steering. Four burner and oven stove (3x aluminium 5kg bottles) - great seagoing galley. Isotherm fridge/freezer. Sleeps 6 people in vee berth forward, single and double ( saloon table converted ) quarter cabin and quarter berth. New upholstery on saloon squabs. New stack pack mainsail cover and electric halyard winch. Lifejackets and harnesses to offshore requirements. Southern Ocean RIB/dinghy and 2hp Yamaha outboard. Doyle sails all in good condition with Profurl furler. Furuno plotter, ICOM SSB and VHF, B&G Hornet sounder. ACR 406 EPIRB. The boat has an extensive ocean cruising history and features in many magazine articles and a cruising guide. We lived aboard (and often had six people on board for dinner) for 10 years but our circumstances have changed. Please feel free to contact me with any enquiries or to arrange a viewing. May be able to deliver for new owner.
