KACHINA - Proven Racing Pedigree with Cruising Potential
Originally designed and built locally by Phillip McGuire in 2002, Kachina is a well-known and successful racing yacht that has undergone an extensive refit and significant structural rebuild from 2022, before being relaunched in 2025.
The almost completed rebuild has incorporated Thermolite and fibreglass, resulting in a remarkably solid and robust vessel. Meticulous attention to detail has been evident throughout the project, both structurally and cosmetically, with Kachina now presenting beautifully in a distinctive turquoise hull with crisp white topsides.
Kachina combines proven racing performance with the versatility to cruise the Whitsundays and beyond, making her an exciting opportunity for a sailor looking for both performance and adventure. She retains the characteristics that have made her such a successful racing yacht, while the extensive work completed provides an exciting opportunity for a new owner looking for both performance and cruisability.
Her racing credentials are complemented by a comprehensive sail inventory, including Genoa, mainsail, spinnaker and No. 1,2 and 3 sails, plus spare spinnakers, all in good condition.
