Huon pine Sloop Motor sailer
Leonora 2 is a boat with provenance having been built by Tasmanian shipwright Mick Drake at Triabunna. Her previous owner was also a well known Tassie wooden boat builder, Bernard Wilson. We became custodians of this beautiful boat eight months ago and she has served us well as a comfortable, functional live-aboard and coastal cruiser. The only reason we are letting her go is that we have had a lifestyle change of plans to go on an extended blue water sailing trip next year. We are currently living aboard at the Margate Marina and if required, we would hand over the berth rental with the boat.
Since owning her we have tidied her up and done extensive maintenance, including a full paint job, carpentry repairs, antifouling done in May 2026, the stern gland packing replaced and the furling head sail replaced with a new Storm Bay sail.
Leonora is a solid, well maintained boat. This is a wonderful opportunity to become custodians of a classic Tasmanian built vessel.
