Remarks
Vessel is built like a tank, 6mm hull and deck, and a very easy motion in a seaway.
Carefully maintained throughout by professional mariner
Slipped, antifouled and new anodes Feb 2026.
All machinery (2 Gardners, 1 Onan, 1 Yanmar) in excellent running order. Large freezer room under toilet/shower compt, driven by YANMAR.
Genuine Gardner starter motors replaced 2021, gearboxes overhauled 2021
Vessel was in AMSA Survey 3C up to June 2024 (since lapsed), as a Bass Strait crayfishing boat.
Forward accommodation is exceptionally quiet underway as wet-well and fuel tanks are situated between engine-room and forecabin. Insulated with carpet throughout.
Currently used as Offshore Safety Vessel for Tamar Yacht Club, Port Dalrymple Yacht Club, Derwent Sailing Squadron and Van Dieman Circumnavigation (RYCT) covering North Tasmanian Coast Three Hummocks to Swan Island and Bass Strait.
Boat is kept at 5 minutes notice for sea all-year round except when on the slip.
(Large quantity of rescue equipment on board used for assisting yachts in difficulties but not part of sale. )
Vessel would make an excellent offshore fishing boat or exceedingly safe cruising boat with its minimal fuel consumption, the reliability of not one, but two Gardner engines and its sea-keeping ability. There are no leaks in this boat!
Vessel is ready to go.
Any sea trial. Will deliver VIC, NSW, SE Qld, by separate arrangement.
