Cavalier 395
Designed by world renowned Laurie Davidson, 'Shiraz 96' was the last of the 17 Cavalier 395's mould and completed by Cavalier Yachts.
She has had 3 fastidious owners who looked for a well mannered, well balanced and comfortable cruiser with an impressive turn of pace. Shiraz is very well known in Queensland Waters, particularly after having completed numerous Brisbane to Gladstone races & regattas.
This yacht has been solo sailed by a female skipper for the past 7 years. Current condition is close to immaculate and all systems aboard work perfectly. She has been maintained to the highest standards and is well equipped for immediate cruising. There aren't too many beautifully presented yachts for sale that are completely ready for extensive comfortable cruising. Shiraz is definitely one.
