Castle 650 Entry Level Harbour / Cruiser


Ni Ban is a Castle 650, a highly regarded trailer-sailer. Ni Ban is on a swing mooring in Rushcutters Bay and does NOT come with a trailer. However, the keel is still able to be lifted for transport if needed.
The Castle 650 is an excellent cost-effective, entry level harbour racing/cruising yacht; easy for 1 or 2 to handle and performs well.
Ni Ban is CAT7 certified, with a proven race record. She came third in her division in the RPEYC 2025-26 Summer Series and won her division in the RANSA 2025 Winter Series.
A lovely boat for a couple (or even single-hand) to cruise on the harbour.
The jibs are in good condition and the main is brand new - less than a month old.
I'm listing Ni Ban for a friend (who isn't on Facebook) and has decided to finally retire from sailing.
