The Illingworth designed Tophat yachts are legendary for their strength and seaworthiness. Laura's great condition makes her an increasingly rare example of this celebrated, entry level cruiser. She comes with a reliable Yanmar 1GM10 diesel inboard fully accessible from a large inspection hatch in the cockpit floor. Her sail wardrobe comprises a loose footed mainsail and three headsails all in great condition. All sail controls lead to the cockpit for shorthanded sailing. In addition she has self-tailing foresail winches. Below decks, Laura has accommodation for four, an electric macerating toilet, a dining/navigation table, and a fold away platform for a Gasmate cooking stove adjacent to a small stainless steel sink unit. There is copious storage space throughout the yacht. She has a new fully MMSI registered VHF/DSC iCom 330GE plus a new antenna system, a maritime 407 MHz EPIRB, flares, a V sheet and fire extinguishers. Antifouled June 25 _ Includes dinghy. Her current mooring will be relinquished and with the approval of Transport for NSW, would be available to the new owner.
