Rambull is a versatile and reliable cruiser/racer set up for harbour sailing. She has a background as one of the most successful Supersonic 27s designed by Scott Kaufman for inshore and JOG racing. More recently she has been rerigged with genoa roller furling, and mainsail boom bag and lazy jacks to suit shorthanded sailing, twilight racing and social outings.
Rambull is also comfortable for cruising with a roomy interior, thanks to her generous beam and headroom. She has a reliable Nanni 10hp inboard diesel engine installed in 2013.
She has had her standing rigging replaced in 2023 and was antifouled in April 2026 making her a "turn Key" proposition for someone wanting an affordable twilight racer or pocket criuser.
Rambull is moored in Mosman Bay for easy viewing.

Remarks
Rambull has been loved and well looked after all her life. She is an ideal yacht for someone looking to get out on the Harbour or Pittwater for leisurely cruising and the odd overnight stay. She is also suited for around the cans and twilight racing.
