Remarks
Meticulously maintained throughout, Forte has a deep fin rudder, keel stepped 42ft mast with 3 semi-swept back spreaders, running back stays used for sail trimming (only) 1.8mt lead keel with lead bullet. Forte sailed from New Zealand to Victoria and from Port Philip to the Gippsland Lakes (Victoria) comfortably with 3 to crew. She is also a very competitive racer and has won many races and trophys. Anti-fouled late 2023 however the Gippsland Lakes is very kind to yachts moored here and as yet does not need re-doing she is cleaned regularly.
Forte is also set up with an Arlo security camera mounted on the companionway roof complete with a Telstra dongle monitoring back to a mobile phone.
NB: all seals on the SailDrive replaced September 2023 and motor fully serviced.
Out-Of-Water Insurance Inspection report 06/2024
She now need to go to a younger skipper or family to enjoy
