'Last Wave' {previously 'Claudia Lee') is hull number seven from a total of only ten fourties built by Eddie Buizen and his small team of supurb craftsmen. She was launched in June 2000 and my wife and I are her third owners. She is a wonderful yacht equipped and capable of comfortably sailing the coastline or, as she is on the Australian Regstry, chasing the horizon to destinations offshore. With her 360 degree vision from inside the deck saloon you will have unencombered vision around you at anchor or tucked up inside during passage making. From the cockpit it is a one step down into the saloon and interior helm and navigation station. Two steps down will take you to the galley and head and forward to the master cabin. She is equipped with a 200ltr/hr watermaker, a 6.5kVa generator, solar, two fridges, a large top opening freezer. For light air sailing she has a Code Zero and for heavy weather sailing, a heavy Solent staysail both on removeable endless furlers.
