Holland 34

Panache is a classic Holland 34 fiberglass sailing yacht designed by renowned New Zealand/Irish naval architect Ron Holland, originally conceived as an IOR 3/4-ton / half-ton-style racer-cruiser and built by The Plastic Boat Company in Victoria. These yachts, built during the IOR (International Offshore Rule) racing era, are responsive, and stiffen up when pushed hard and are lively downwind under a spinnaker. Also known for their speed and toughness many have competed over the years in the Sydney Hobart with good results. Panache, whilst in need of a little TLC has had all the hard stuff done and big money spent on her including standing rigging, new mainsail, just been anitfouled and a great Volvo Penta engine. She is a regular feature on the podium at RGYC. Panache represents a great opportunity to get into some competitive club racing at a very low price with low ongoing costs.
