Like a holiday "house" on the beautiful and extensive Gippsland Lakes system for a bargain price and no land tax?
Find a home berth or mooring and you're set. There are plenty of free short stay moorings and jetty berths for your exploring of the Lakes.
Or relocate elsewhere by sea or road. "Wings" is the sought after low draft wing keel version so she'll suit anywhere.
2 private double cabins with a wonderful central lounge/galley/navigation table. Full cooking and fridge, electric toilet and hot shower. Swim platform and ladder at the stern. Full cockpit cushion set.
Sailing wise "Wings" is a dream. Both sails are easy to deploy and reef. Both are furling and both by Hood Sydney. The mast furling main avoids the strain of hoisting, just roll out as much as you need. The mainsail boom is above head height for safety. Auxiliary power is a fuel efficient 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel with only 438 hours. It has a 3 bladed Flexofold prop for maximum sailing and motoring efficiency.
That's the basics, but there is more. Rigging renewed. Sails renewed. Rudder and cutless bearings renewed. New shaft dripless seal. Oven upgraded and renewed (Force 10). New stunning quality bimini (locally made). Very extensive navigation electronics, including an AIS Transponder. Solar charging with Victron intelligent control. And EXCELLENT condition. A yacht that has been cared for. Buy quality at a fair price!
I sailed "Wings" down from Sydney after purchase in 2020. If you search YouTube for "Catalina 309 Wings" you'll find a great video from the Brokers back in 2020. I've made many improvements since then.
I'm based at Newlands Arm, near Paynesville and Raymond Island. With age I've decided to move to a motor cruiser (still on the beautiful Lakes of course), so "Wings" needs new owners to enjoy her.
Give me a call or send an email to discuss further.
