1998 CUSTOM NZ BUILT CUSTOM OFFSHORE SLOOP (1998)

This impressive 1998 New Zealand-built custom offshore sloop represents serious bluewater capability in a beautifully crafted package. Designed by L Boielle and constructed using cold-moulded three-skin spruce, this 15.9-metre passage maker combines the strength and character of traditional NZ boatbuilding with genuine offshore performance credentials. Masthead cutter rigged for versatility across a wide range of conditions, she is capable of logging 200-plus nautical miles per day - a testament to her efficient, purposeful design. Power comes from a reliable Volvo diesel on a shaft, offering confidence when the wind falls away. Below decks, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across three cabins - including a private aft cabin - providing five single berths and two doubles for a total of seven berths. The well-laid-out salon and galley make extended passages comfortable and practical for the whole family. Previously based in the Coral Sea, she has proven her offshore credentials in real-world conditions. Recently refurbished by her current owner, this yacht is presented ready to sail, whether your ambitions lie in New Zealand coastal cruising or extended Pacific passages. The vendor may consider a part trade to a tidy small yacht or launch. Located Tauranga, Bay of Plenty. Asking NZD $175,000.
