Jarkan yachts are Australian-built fiberglass cruisers designed for safety, comfort, and short-handed sailing. Primarily built in Nowra, NSW, by Kanga Bartels during the 1980s and 1990s, they are known for their spacious, comfortable interiors and proven bluewater capability, often featuring aft-master cabins and strong, seaworthy hulls.
There are still many sailing today attesting to their strong build and the fact that their owners have looked after them.
This lovely Jarkan is no exception. With the centre cockpit she has a large comfortable aft master cabin. The interior is well maintained.
We have a recnt survey and a list of improvements to share with serious enquiries.
