SaltyJocks - UFO 34 | Fully Refitted | 1425W Solar | 450Ah Lithium | Brand New Yanmar | Off-Grid Cruiser
Extensively upgraded and fully self-sufficient UFO 34 bluewater cruiser, professionally refitted for long-term remote cruising.
Over the last 4 years she has completed 4,500+ offshore miles including Perth-Darwin-Dampier and multiple extended Kimberley and Montebello Island trips. Built tough and heavily prepared, she's handled 50 knots and heavy seas.
