Lord Fred is a round bilge steel Herreshoff Neria 36 built in Melbourne. With a long keel and a masthead ketch rig these boats are renowned world cruisers. Lord Fred has circumnavigated at least once. A quick search on the internet will reveal that the Nereia is considered a fast, seaworthy boat that points well and has a very functional interior with many of them still travelling the world. All the big $$ have been spent on Lord Fred including rigging which is only 2 years old, excellent sails and a brand new head sail and a Yanmar 3GM engine that runs as smooth as a sewing maching with full service history. Lord Fred would be the perfect boat for a couple looking to cruise offshore safely and on a limited budget - she only requires a little TLC and some paint and a tidy up to make her your dream home on the water. What other boat can you buy with this much heritage and capable of carrying you safely across oceans at this price ???
