Gannet II is an impeccable example of these sought after tough Australian made cruisers from the design board of Murray, Burns, Dovell. She has been maintained and kept in immaculate condition and almost looks like a new boat. These boats offer everything you could want in a cruiser easily managed by 2 people. The quality of the build of these yachts is exceptional and way above anything you find in a production boat. The interior solid hardwood joinery and lining is as good today as it was when she was launched. The Jarkan 39 has an encapsulated lead keel so no concern about keel bolts. The rig is bullet proof with huge double swept back spreaders and an inner forestay for a staysail. An Electric windlass, Davits and an ever reliable Yanmar 40HP diesel complete the package. If you're looking for the perfect cruiser for a couple that could take you anywhere in comfort and with a good turn of speed ready to go then you must come and see Gannet II
