Davidson 59
Another Duchess is an exciting, fast day sailor, perfect for afternoon or twilight racing, or relaxing out on the water with family. The current owner did a major refit (2021-2022) after purchasing the boat, and in 2022 took her to Hamilton Island Race week. This year the boat has competed in the RPAYC Wednesday afternoon series, and she took the overall win in CYCA Winter Series under IRC and PHS. She also won the Australia Day Regatta Division 1 earlier in the year in what would be described as extreme conditions, with winds gusting up to 40knots out on the Harbour. Another Duchess is a performance yacht that can be easily sailed by just a few crew or pushed hard in a more serious racing series. She is totally turn-key and ready to win races! Great option for combining it all with a weekend gateway! She was just recently slipped with new antifoul - and is ready for her new owner!Recent Works and Updates
