Custom Racer - "Dont Bug Me"
**** GREAT VALUE FOR THIS COMPETITIVE RACING YACHT ****
This very well built and competitive 8m yacht would make the ideal club racer or small cruising yacht.
With proven performance and impressive sail inventory "Don't Bug Me" has stood the test of time, and remains a popular entry level twilight and round the buoy racer/cruiser.
This owner/designed built yacht has done extremely well in her sailing performance over a long period and matched with its strong, comfortable and functional interior, it makes for an ideal first yacht or for anyone making the transition from sailing dinghies to keel boats.
She is been a successful member of the Hobart racing scene for over 25 years, "Don't Bug Me" is well set up for sailing fully crewed or shorthanded, with all lines / halyards lead back to the cabin top, and in easy reach of the tiller. There is easy access around the side decks, and the good size cockpit provides for a functional sailing platform.
Inside, the clean white finishes and timber trims give a light and airy ambience. The vessel offers plenty of accommodation for an overnight stay with plenty of bunks throughout. The compact galley features a 2 burner metho stove and sink. The package is complete with manual marine toilet.
This vessel is powered by a 6.5HP Yanmar diesel engine. This provides easy cruising at approx 6 knots and 1-2 LPH fuel consumption.
"Don't Bug Me" provides exhilarating performance in all conditions. This is an excellent opportunity to experience the thrill of racing your own yacht for a minimal investment.
