1968 YOUNG 1968 YOUNG 37

Meet NAMU - a legendary 1968 Jim Young 37 keelboat with more race wins at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron than arguably any other yacht of her era. Now retired from competition, NAMU has been thoughtfully transformed over the past four years into a well-appointed cruising yacht without sacrificing her pure Kiwi pedigree. Stretching 11.2 metres with a 2.85m beam and 1.88m draft, she carries five berths including a newly relined forward double with extra mattress for genuine comfort. Her tired Sole engine has been replaced with a reliable Lombardini, paired with a new 25mm prop shaft - virtually bulletproof for a vessel of this size. An upgraded electrical system features two house batteries, one engine battery, dual alternators, and emergency parallel selection. Below decks, she boasts an Isotherm electric fridge and freezer, electric anchor winch, new VHF (permanent and handheld), laminated Kahikatea and Matai floorboards, a certified new gas system, 240V shore power connection, electric water pump serving galley, head and cockpit shower, and a small holding tank. On deck, enjoy a new Stack Pack and cockpit Bimini. Fully antifouled in December 2024 and passing survey with flying colours, NAMU is genuinely ready to go. A marina berth may be negotiable. Offered at NZD $29,000 - exceptional value for a piece of New Zealand sailing history.
