Iconic Australian Haines Signature 1950L. Designed and built in Queensland, by the late John Haines (Snr)... "the best boat I've ever produced"..... His words quoted in boat test documentation onboard for this boat.
Two previous owners. Paperwork and ownership history from new. Current owner for more than 20 years, a retired boat builder and AMSA commercial master/engineer. Has been used mainly for cruising overnights up to a week, NSW coastal sheltered waters and rivers by husband and wife. This boat is not the current style of light weight "bubble boat". It sits comfortably at anchor and has a no compromise hull form with enhanced classic top side flare and heavy V-bottom construction for proper sea keeping.
It has not been thrashed with no ski work or messy fishing.
Everything works, always freshwater washed/flushed, polished and under cover. Manuals included. Very good condition and unique. THE BEST 1950L AVAILABLE.
