Van De Stadt Maestro 31 1985
This beautiful yacht turns many heads with her nice lines and excellent performance on the water.
She is fast and comfortable to sail. Set up for single handed or family and friends cruising or for racing as she is set up for Cat 5 Racing. With a large sail wardrobe, including 4 extra jibs, a spare main, a trysail and 4 spinnakers.
She was built in Adelaide in 1985 by Maunder Marine. The boat has a good racing record and has covered many cruising miles also.
With the targa, solar panels, marine battery system, easy access transom steps, self tailing winches, neat and roomy downstairs and can sleep 6, she makes a great cruising yacht for a few weeks at Rotto or Quindalup, or further.
As well as an excellent sailing boat, she also runs well under motor, regularly serviced, impellar changed, low miles.
She has been regularly used and is meticulously maintained, recenty returning from Geographe Bay Raceweek and then a week moored in the beautiful waters of Quindalup.
