Spencer 35 MK1 Full-keeled, classic blue-water cruiser
Classic blue-water boat. Beautifully built and traditionally appointed. Bought in Noumea, New Caledonia in April 2024 (former owner was an aeronautical engineer) and sailed back to Sydney in June/July. Only had 5 owners in her long history, and has been very well looked-after. Selling because starting a career and moving away :)
Just went through a big Electrical upgrade - Brand New 200ah Lithium Battery, Solar Panel, Smart MPPT, Smart DC/DC Charger, Smart Shunt, Smart Battery Disconnect etc etc (ALL 100% Victron).
I lived aboard for around 2 months, and found her extremely comfortable - with 1.9m headroom, a crazy amount of natural light for a boat this age, and a highly versatile layout, there was plenty of space and comfort for myself and my girlfriend.

Registered at 10.49m length for more favourable mooring fees :)
