Cavalier 975s are popular and well proven fast cruising yachts, built in Australia to acclaimed Kiwi designer Bob Salthouse's popular Cavalier 32 design, known here as the Cavalier 975. This one has been well cared for by her owners and now presents in ready to cruise condition. She has plenty of comfortable accommodation and lovely sailing qualities in all weather, perfect for bay or coastal cruising or even the occasional club race. She is just off the slip 5/25 after her annual anti-foul and maintenance program so she is ready to go.
This 1984 built wheel steered Cavalier 975 comes well equipped. She has a fully battened dacron mainsail, 2 furling headsails plus storm sails and a spinnaker. She was fitted with new stainless steel wire rigging in 2021 and her deck gear is well laid out for easy short-handed sail handling. She was re-rigged in 2021.
The Bukh 20HP diesel engine is always reliable and has been regularly serviced. Safety gear is approx Cat 5N. Electronics include Log, Speed, Depth and Wind functions, Simrad NX40 GPS and Chart Plotter and a Raymarine wheel auto-pilot.
There is roomy accommodation and sleeping for up to 6, she also has a great sea going galley with a 2- burner stove, front opening ice box, sink and plenty of storage. The 4-seater dinette can be converted to a double berth when required. This is a great family yacht, well worthy of your inspection.
