"Gypsymariner" was built for purpose... Around the world adventuring exploring the remote locations. Whether comfortably living at anchor or in the marina, she covers all bases with great ability to cruise for extended periods between port calls.
A family home for 10 years from 2012 when the rebuild was completed, she has cruised extensively the East coast of Australia, ranging between Lizard Island and the outer reefs to Tasmania including the remote western side.
This extended cruising ability is enabled by robust systems and tank capacity for 6000 litres of diesel and 3500 litres of potable water. There is an abundance of storage, solar panels, generator and stabilisers.
A bowthruster in conjunction with an articulated rudder system makes this vessel very agile in confined spaces.
