Description: Farr Binks 30 B30
"The Brilliant 30-Footer from Bruce Farr and David Binks... One of the most versatile yachts built in Australia", ... Just at home making fast safe coastal passage as it is on bays, at anchor in a secluded inlet on the East Coast, or cruising and club racing the waters of the Gippsland Lakes.
This retractable keel variant offers not only a remarkable shoal draft of just 39cm (12 inches) but the option for trailering and off water storage.
A spacious 6 birth family multi night cruiser and a capable club racer, the Farr B30 is easily sailed single handed with its designed simplicity.
A three-quarter rig, "Overture" is equipped with a self-furling battened mainsail, genoa, flasher and spare jib.
The spacious saloon contains not only accommodation for 6, but a well-appointed galley with gas stove and oven, fridge, ice box and chart table. The well laid out design with ample stowage also includes a toilet and full height shower and is finished with a mahogany centre table, bulkheads and trim throughout making for a very attractive and functional cabin.

The cockpit area provides all sheets, halyards and winches in easy reach and includes a traditional tiller helm providing unmatched feel for the traditional sailor. Sailed with crew, the B30 has proven club and leisure racing credentials.
Launched in 1987,"Overture" has been carefully maintained and is in outstanding condition throughout, including the replaced 20hp Volvo Penta with only 78 hrs.
"Overture" has been lovingly updated and maintained over its past 18 years with various replacements and upgrades to keep the vessel to the standard to which it was built. This includes, but not limited to an updated hot water system, deck shower, saloon stereo, Garmin GPS plotter and sounder, keel hydraulics, engine water exchange, fresh and drinking water system plumbing, mast and fittings maintenance and new shrouds, saloon windows & washboard, mainsail bag, dodger and regular general and hull maintenance. Last slipped April 2024.
This outstanding example of the well-regarded Farr Binks B30,"Overture" is regrettably up for sale, located near Paynesville, on the Gippsland Lakes, Victoria.
