CLASSIC TIMBER BAY CRUISER - BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED & READY FOR ADVENTURE

KATHERINE

Katherine is a striking classic timber displacement cruiser, handcrafted by renowned boatbuilder Brett Almond in Queenscliff.

A vessel of exceptional craftsmanship and timeless elegance, Katherine has been meticulously maintained and continuously improved by only two owners. She offers the rare combination of classic timber beauty with the reliability and convenience of modern mechanical systems.

Having recently undergone extensive restoration, refurbishment and major mechanical upgrades by Tim Phillips at The Wooden Boat Shop, Katherine presents in exceptional condition and is ready for her next custodian.

Whether cruising the bays and coastline, entertaining family and friends, enjoying sunset picnics, fishing with confidence, or spending a peaceful night aboard, Katherine delivers a boating experience that is increasingly difficult to find.

Constructed with Celery Pine frames, Malaysian Kauri planking and South African Teak (Iroko) topsides, she combines traditional craftsmanship with enduring strength and beauty.

The spacious cabin is finished with teak trims and brass fittings and offers comfortable accommodation for two, with additional covered deck sleeping available for guests. Her rear entertaining deck features marine blue lounge seating, an inlaid timber dining table and market umbrella housing, creating the perfect setting for relaxed days on the water.

Fastidiously maintained and presented in pristine condition, Katherine is a vessel that attracts admiration wherever she goes.

A near-new Yanmar 110hp turbo diesel engine with only 80 hours, together with a comprehensive recent upgrade of electrical, mechanical and onboard systems, ensures modern reliability while preserving her classic character.
