1987 DON SENIOR 13.8M

This 1987 Don Senior 13.8-metre monohull represents one of New Zealand's most respected offshore sailing pedigrees. Don Senior was a highly regarded local designer whose vessels earned a strong reputation for seaworthiness, robust construction and capable bluewater performance - qualities that remain just as relevant today as when this yacht was launched. Stretching 13.8 metres on the waterline with a draft of 1.6 metres, she carries herself with the purposeful stance of a serious offshore passage-maker. The two-cabin layout provides comfortable accommodation for extended cruising, with a practical arrangement suited to a couple or small crew tackling coastal adventures or longer ocean passages. Currently located in Auckland and offered at a price-reduced NZD $175,000, this vessel presents outstanding value for buyers seeking a proven bluewater yacht with genuine New Zealand provenance. Don Senior designs have stood the test of time, and examples in good condition are increasingly sought after by discerning cruising sailors who value substance over style. Whether you're planning a Pacific crossing or simply want a capable, characterful yacht to explore New Zealand's stunning coastline, this Don Senior deserves serious consideration. Inspections are warmly encouraged - this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of New Zealand sailing heritage at an accessible price point.
