Alan Payne Timber Bay Cruiser


Step back in time with Biddy Maude, a stunning 1962 timber bay cruiser designed by the legendary Alan Payne and built by JW Clark of Brisbane. A true head-turner, she combines classic lines with solid craftsmanship--carvel-planked Oregon hull over robust hardwood frames and stringers.

Lovingly cared for her entire life, Biddy Maude is in exceptional condition and ready for her next custodian. Her beauty and presentation were officially recognised when she won Best Motor Boat in Class at the 2024 Bribie Classic Boat Regatta.

Features:
- Comfortable aft cockpit with port and starboard lounges, and full canvas enclosures for comfort in all weather
- Main cabin with helm, compact galley, and two forward single berths
- Enclosed bow head for convenience
- Reliable Kubota diesel engine (Diecon rebuild) - efficient and easy to run

Rarely do classic boats of this calibre come to market. Biddy Maude is not just a cruiser, but a cherished piece of Australian maritime history--ready to cruise today and admired wherever she goes.
