Pre-Purchase Inspection

Sayonara is an absolutely stunning vessel, and one of the very best classic boats ever to come available in Australia. She was built in South Australia. Her history is very well documented. The New Zealand Kauri planking is all in perfect order. Currently owned in a syndicate of experienced yachtsmen, all have been involved and sailing her since her detailed and comprehensive rebuild some 20 years ago. The syndicate has deceided to sell, and the opportunity awaits. A once in a lifetime chance to own and cherish a piece of yachting history. Sayonara is fully serviced, and ready to sail.
