Welcome aboard this amazing pocket cruiser, a Sorcerer 6.1-meter trailer sailer called "Detour". Built in Western Australia by Ken Hill and Dale Cameron. "Detour" is a solidly built vessel with a 300-kilogram torpedo-type centreboard that is operated via a safe and reliable worm drive that has recently been serviced. Sorcerer trailer sailers are performance cruisers that will allow you to explore inshore and protected waterways safely due to the stiffness that is provided by the bulb and the safety of the worm drive system locking the board down.
Down below, there is room for four berths with a flexible layout and quality timber shelving that provides plenty of storage. The cockpit is large and clear with plenty of room for all of the family. Powered by a near-new 6hp four stroke long shaft mercury outboard, you can have the confidence that the motor will get you home when the breeze drops. "Detour" comes with a Walker Bay sailing dinghy that has a full sailing rig, this can be towed behind "Detour" and used to explore or the kids can learn to skipper their own vessel. Another big attraction is that this yacht comes with its own registered mooring at Margate; this mooring could be sold separately if not required, or it could be an excellent base point for "Detour" to spend the warmer months while exploring the beautiful Dentracasteau Channel.
"Detour" really is the complete package - a solid performance cruising trailer sailer on an up-to-date registered trailer with a near-new Mercury outboard and a Walker Bay sailing dinghy plus the mooring at Margate.
This summer you could cruise the Dentracasteau Channel, the inland Lakes and Macquarie Harbour all within the space of a few weeks and without having to sail the South and West coasts; all you need is a reliable car with a tow bar and a mind for adventure - imagine being up the Gordon River tied to the bank one day and then towing her to Dover to explore the southern Channel the next day.
This is your opportunity to buy a complete package, have adventures and make memories, and show your kids that there is more to life than Netflix, so what are you waiting for? Let's go exploring in this wonderful adventure machine.
