Custom

We are regretfully selling our beautiful and sentimental home due to purchasing a catamaran. So we would love to find someone, a couple or family, to hand her over to and enjoy her as much as we have.

Current location: in Port Douglas
Current Australian ship registration and NSW state rego.

Sandy Lee is a 70ft ketch sailboat, she's the perfect cruiser for sailors or those wanting to learn how to sail, OR even just to live on as a spacious houseboat in your favourite location!
Boasting roughly 70sqm of indoor living area excluding the four usable spacious decks and lazarette, she's literally as big as a two bedroom apartment, with 2 large bedrooms, ensuites, large galley, large saloon and a huge 13 seater indoor/outdoor area situated in the fly bridge helm.
The bow cabin would easily be converted into multiple cabins!

Well maintained, can be insured, can be delivered anywhere on East Coast
