Do you want to be the most admired yacht in the anchorage? Do you have aspirations to cruise the world and are looking for a yacht that can do it in comfort and safety that is equipped with all the Bells and Whistles you need? Then "Queen Jane" is the yacht you should be looking at. Designed by Walt Shultz and built by Shannon Yachts of Bristol, Rhode Island, USA, a boatyard whose name is synonymous with building yachts of exceptional strength and uncompromising construction and design quality. This is not your ubiquitous modern production yacht but a handcrafted cruising yacht built with one purpose, to safely cross oceans, the ability to deal with all that "Mother Nature" can throw at you and do it with style, comfort and aplomb. The current owners have owned her for 25 years and have just arrived in Australia after crossing the Pacific, Queen Jane is ready to continue her voyage but unfortunately due to some age related health issues her owners are not. Please read attached "pdf" for full details. Yachts of this calibre and pedigree seldom come on the market so if she sparks your interest don't delay in giving us a call to arrange an inspection,
