This is a solid, well-known design with plenty of life left and everything you need to start sailing immediately.

Based on American design, this particular hull was manufactured in Ferntree Gully and is full fibre glass (as opposed to American produced boats that have a wood core).

Ideal for weekend cruising, family trips, or a safe introduction to yacht ownership.

We are saying good bye to Step One as we are looking to our next step in our sailing journey. We've had great fun with her as first time boat owners and hope she finds a good new home.
