Description: Top Hat 25 MK III
This is your chance to own a legendary Australian pocket cruiser - the Top Hat 25. With a 51% ballast ratio, admirable capsize screening rating and solid fibreglass hull, these yachts are excellent blue water cruisers for the single handed/short-handed sailor.
All lines are led to the cockpit, and the lexan windows have been modified to ensure robustness in the event of a side wave.
Sea Monkey Mk 3 outboard version (in well) $10000.
Lying at Batemans Bay and I can assist with delivery within NSW.
