MAGNUM 8.5  

Lalita has been maintained exceptionally well and has been kept under cover for most of her life. Never antifouled or painted, just polished each year. And it shows the gel coat shines like a new boat. The teak gleams with Goldspar. Work completed in the last couple of years include brand new Tohatsu electric start 9.8 conversion, the original hydraulic ram has been fully rebuilt by the original manufacturer and shipwrights in Paynesville Slip. See photos on travel lift. It is still like new. Because this yacht has never lived in the water the alloy keel slides are like new with zero corrosion just lubricated periodically with lanolin. Full Garmin wind depth speed instruments. Northstar GPS plotter GM VHS 27 MG and GM quality radio setup. New life lines, Plastimo compass and many unique extras such as Rosewood Self locking cutlery draw special teak cupboard doors throughout and many other extras like a heavier CQR than is usual additional water tank for extended cruising. This yacht was also unlike most trailer sailers built by South Coast who were professional yacht builders that built proper ocean going cruising and racing yachts. The quality shows in the matrix construction. It is far superior to anything else out there. We have over the years owned a number of other yachts and there is no comparison. This is by far the best. The trailer equally has been well maintained with full breakaway compliant to NSW reg requirements with fully rebuilt hydrastar controller 4 wheel disks and additional handbrake set up. The original conversion was completed for us professionally. The yacht and trailer is currently registered in Victoria as most of our sailing these last 10 years has been on the Gippsland Lakes where we have a family home. Standing rigging has been replaced mast refurbished running rigging is a mix of new and original. She has never been raced so there is a mix of sails including storm jib and 2 other jibs 1 and 2 and main. All spinnaker hardware but not the correct pole. It does include new and very expensive spinnaker pole fittings.
Other extras include new Auto helm Compass
and many other items and 5 inch and 7 inch pitch props
It is easily one of the best trailerable yachts available.
