Herreshoff 28
Classic H28 (King Billy hull) for sale.
A well known and well built ketch that has cruised Tasmanian waters and has been well maintained.
Extensive refurbishment over the past three years.
Rusalka has two main areas: a saloon area with the main berths which is also a comfortable seating area.
Separated from the saloon area by a curtain, the galley and nav station are functional, and easy to use alongwith two quarter berths. The chart table covers the icebox with good storage.
The cockpit is comfortable and has a table that can be inserted, making it a lovely place to have your meals and refresments.
She sails well, but if needed the 18hp Volvo will give a boost when needed.
Rusalka is currently on an excellent mooring that is regularly serviced in Kettering and the owners are willing to negotiate a lease as part of the purchase.
Now with a new genuine exhaust elbow, and boat has been slipped and antifouled (November 2024).
