Spacesailer 27 SS27
Space sailor 27ft. Rage is a yacht in a pen a Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club in Perth Western Australia. She is one of the earlier SS27s and has an excellent hull, a couple of new sails, and is up to date with survey, registration, and insurance.
She is due for major maintenance on the mast, and currently has no inboard nor outboard motor. The stays, lifelines and all but one halliard need replacing before the next survey around September.
The external woodwork is functional, but could do with repair. Rage is currently sailable, and includes a functional mast lowering kit to pass under the bridges to Rottnest, and a tender with oars. Rage comes with full safety kit and life vests for adults and children, and sleeps 6 with an large esky and a metho stove. The inside is a little dirty due to being used to race in recent years.
