SUPERB HUON PINE MOTORSAILOR, FULLY UPGRADED!

With its stunning lines, impressive history, and fully enclosed wheelhouse, "Leaturi" is a vessel that turns heads wherever it pulls into port! Superbly built out of Huon Pine in 1956 in North-West Bay Tasmania, the vessel was launched as "Thurling Hunter" and worked as a cray fishing boat out of St Helens and into Bass Strait. In 1985 it under went a major refit to become a comfortable and capable motor sailor complete with fully enclosed wheelhouse, mast and boom. In 2000 it had another major refit including extension of the wheelhouse and an all round stainless-steel guard-rail was added. The previous owners sailed the vessel down from Port Philip to Hobart in 2017 and further improved the vessel with a NEW 2019 75HP VOLVO PENTA DIESEL ENGINE, NEW 2019 MAST AND RIGGING, NEW DIESEL HEATER AND HOT WATER SYSTEM, NEW GAS STOVE WITH OVEN, AND NEW LEATHER UPHOLSTERY IN THE WHEELHOUSE. The current owner purchased the vessel in 2020 and has enjoyed it as comfortable and capable local cruiser and part time liveaboard. Under his fastidious ownership he has further upgraded the vessel with A NEW HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM, NEW DOYLES MAINSAIL AND FURLING HEADSAIL, NEW ELECTRIC TOILET, NEW SOLAR SYSTEM, NEW GARMIN DEPTH SOUNDER AND SIMRAD CHART PLOTTER, 12/240V PORTABLE FRIDGE ADDED, NEW 12V BILGE PUMPS, NEW SOUND SYSTEM AND TV WITH DVD PLAYER, the list goes on! With her offshore capability, impressive history, and so many recent upgrades, "Leaturi" presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a traditional Tasmanian Huon Pine motor-sailer which ticks all the boxes. Whether you are looking for a family cruiser to explore the stunning waters of Southern Tasmania, want to enjoy the onboard comforts to experience the liveaboard lifestyle, or even to cruise further afield in the comfort that only a true motor-sailer can provide, "Leaturi" can do it all in style!
