Hutton 28 Twilight sailing boat - Dashing Wave - low price


I'm ready to reduce the price as some maintenance work will be necessary.
I stayed overnight in April 26, rafting up with 3 other boats - great fun. I havn't used in much in the past year, so it should now go to a new owner.
I have very much enjoyed sailing this boat since 2019 including twilight races in Gosford and then on Lake Macquarie, with a few handycap podiums along the way. Its not a line houners boat as the larger and newer boats are faster, but it is good fun.
Prior to that the boat had one owner since new, who had a house on Sydney Harbour with the boat on the jetty at the bottom of the garden - so no expense spared during that time. They set it up for two adults up front and four kids in the middle and back - I have removed the bunk bed and table, but its all in my garage for you.
In 2020 a survey report valued it at $24k and I think it is worth $12 to $14k, however there are some maintenance things that need to be done, so I am willing to reduce the price.
The tinny rowing boat is included?
Cat 7 Audit was current to March 26.
Currently has comprehensive insurance till April 2027 following an Insurance Risk Evaluation inspection report April 2024. Obviously you need to organise your own insurance.
Rigging was replaced in 2019.
Volvo Penta 14hp diesel inboard motor. Both batteries were recently replaced and it has always started reliably and ran well. There is currently a blockage [probably barnicles] in the exhaust which will need it out of the water to be repaired. It is also due for antifouling. I may be able to help to arange a tow to Marmong Marina for this work.
Working manual toilet, with running water to vanity and sink.
Excellent blue and white striped cushions - good for overnight stays.
Interior timber panelling is showing its age and some dampness in places.
Has a nice blue spinnaker, with a pole, sheets and blocks ready to fly.
The jib has been repaired and is functional.
The main has lazy jacks and a sail cover..
Slipped in April 2024 for PropSpeed and antifoul. I have a regular diver who helps a lot but he indicated that it is due to redone.
Currently moored at the southern end of Lake Macquarie and I am not planning to buy another boat so the mooring apparatus and mooring location may be available, subject to government approval, etc.
The Diver has regularly cleaned under the waterline so condition reports with photos are available.
