After years of sailing the waters Europe, Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans this very well constructed, purpose built, blue water cruiser with sensible draft, is now for sale. She was built in South Africa with her design based around the original Montevideo 43, using the same hull profile but with superior living space below. Vaega Tolu boasts a large dining area, good galley and refrigeration, an abundance of storage space and all the warmth and quality that only sold timber joinery can provide. She has a spacious aft cabin owners berth with an ensuite, a v berth double forward and a Pullman bunk cabin offering a kids berth above, a larger berth below with additional heads located opposite.
She's comes with 50hp Yanmar diesel (installed new in 2022) which provides excellent access from the starboard walk through, solar panels, four AGM house batteries, excellent refrigeration, a watermaker and around 190cm headroom in the saloon, a nice sail plan, radar and autopilot. She has a cosy cockpit and loads of rear and forward deck space. Whilst she's quiet a lovely vessel throughout, her cockpit teak could do with some new caulking, her stainless steel will benefit from a good clean and due to it's unknown age, she's highly likely to need need new rigging.
Located at her marina berth on Manly Harbour in Qld, Vaega Tolu is ready to be sold and start some new adventures. Please call Australiawide Boat sales, Manly Qld to arrange an inspection.
