Armitage 52 - Timber Cutter Yawl

Calling all traditional timber yacht lovers - this is undoubtely the best value quality timber yawl on the market! Over $700,000 worth of boat, but asking under $500K.. She's been priced to sell fast!

We're thrilled to present this truly unique vessel - a beautiful Armitage design 52ft timber yawl.

She's genuinely one-of-a-kind, drawing admiration everywhere she goes; with owners admitting they have people wanting to come onboard everywhere they go.

Launched in 2020 but was commissioned in only 2024, she's in fantastic, near-new condition.

Designed by New Zealand naval architect Nigel Armitage, this yawl blends traditional aesthetics above the waterline with modern performance below. She features a thin keel and a semi-balanced rudder for excellent handling.

Built in Brisbane, she was lovingly finished over three years from a shell, with meticulous attention to detail.

Her cutter yawl rig, complete with two headsails (staysail and number one) both on roller furlers, makes for incredibly easy handling. The mizzen sail, positioned aft, isn't just for balance and manouevrability; it's a key steering aid and adds extra drive, making her a dream to sail - very comfortable and easy to manage, even shorthanded.

Livability is a huge plus, especially with the full deck awning that shades the entire cockpit and most of the cabin. This keeps the beautiful New Guinea rosewood timbers protected, alongside covers for just about everything, preserving stunning varnish work.

She boasts a 405W solar panel system and inverter, effortlessly running appiliances and electronics. You'll often find she's power positive, even on cloudy days! Plus Starlink is included, so you can get internet connection anywhere you go.

Underneath that gorgeous deck, the robust construction includes Western Red Cedar cabin sides and Oregon over Douglas fir. Alot of the timberwork was handpicked from New Guinea, brought back and uniquely crafted for this yacht.

She's also got a Kubota four-cylinder diesel engine on board - built to go anywhere remote and the owner says she doesn't skip a beat.

This isn't just a boat; it's a unique cruising experience ready for its next custodian.

If you're looking for a masterpiece timber yawl that 'sails better than a traditional yacht' and in pristine condition, then you must check this one out!
