Designed by Joe Adams, the Mottle 33 has truly stood the test of time and remains a highly sought-after Australian cruiser/racer. Combining impressive sailing performance with genuine offshore capability and exceptional accommodation for it's size, the Mottle 33 is a versatile design that consistently ticks all the boxes. Sure to delight even the most discerning sailor, they offer responsive, rewarding performance while remaining forgiving and easily managed. This makes them equally suitable as a first family cruiser, competitive twilight racer, or even as a comfortable liveaboard. Many have completed serious Bluewater passages and have also competed successfully in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race over the years, a testament to their strength and seaworthiness.. "Sandpiper" is a superb example of the design and is one of the preferred 'High Sided' Mottle 33s, providing significantly increased headroom and comfort without compromising performance. Having been very well maintained and upgraded, it features a 2012 VOLVO D1 28HP DIESEL ENGINE WITH LOW HOURS, NEW 2021 QUANTUM FULLY BATTENED MAINSAIL, NEW 2021 QUANTUM FURLING GENOA, NEW 2021 FORESTAY AND HEADSAIL FURLER, ALL INTERIOR TIMBER TRIMS RE-VARNISHED, NEW 2026 HOUSE BATTERY, NEW 2025 ENGINE START BATTERY, 2016 MUIR 12V ANCHOR WINCH WITH REMOTE, 2017 HOT WATER SYSTEM, the list goes on! Beautifully presented, and having been a successful competitor in the Hobart social racing scene under its current highly experienced owner, "Sandpiper" really is a yacht not to miss!
Stepping inside, the beautifully finished timber trims, and clean white finishes create a light and airy ambience. As a 'high sided' version of the design, the interior volume really has to be seen to be fully appreciated! The spacious saloon features a folding leaf dinette with seating for 6 in comfort on the neatly upholstered settees. The well appointed galley is to starboard and features a large top loading fridge, 2 burner gas stove with oven and grill, stainless steel sink with H/C pressurised water, and plenty of storage for extended stays onboard. The accommodation is a great feature of this design. Aft is the incredible master cabin, with a huge queen sized berth, drop down table, and extensive storage. Forward is a double berth, there is a single pilot berth to starboard, plus two single settee berths when additional accommodation is required. The package is complete with a private bathroom with electric toilet, H/C shower, and vanity.
Outside, the cockpit is a great space to either relax or enjoy sailing at its finest. There is excellent protection from the large spray dodger, plus a set of comfortable cockpit cushions. This vessel is very well set up for easy shorthanded sailing with the 2021 Mainsail in a boom bag with lazy jacks, furling 2021 Genoa, Raymarine Autopilot, and self tailing primary winches. There is good access forward around the wide side decks, and a 12V Muir anchor winch on the boat for easy anchoring.
This vessel is powered by the 2012 Volvo Penta D1 28HP diesel engine. With only 871hrs on the clock this provides excellent performance and reliability. Paired with a sail-drive Seahawk feathering prop, it provides easy cruising at 6 knots.
With its exceptional pedigree, significant upgrades, and superb condition, "Sandpiper" provides an excellent opportunity to turn your sailing dreams into reality!
