Custom Cruiser - Ex-Tender

Price: AUD $90,000

This 1983 (approx) Custom Cruiser, known as 'Ex-Tender', is now exclusively listed for sale with YOTI on Sydney Harbour. 

Built for Syd Fischer to commercial survey standards and subsequently certified, she was originally known as 'Gazebelle' and was used extensively as the tender to Syd's numerous Americas Cup campaign yachts. After she finished life on the Americas cup trail, she was renamed 'Ex-Tender' and refitted to a more family friendly cruising layout. 

Following her last insurance survey in 2021, she had her shaft bearings, rudder bearings, props, engine mounts and skin fittings either serviced or replaced. 
She is a 3-cabin layout with a large island bed forward, pullman berth to starboard and double bunk beds to port. 

'Ex-Tender' generally presents well however requires some significant work to the cockpit floors and combings so would ideally suit someone with the skills and or time to bring those areas back up to standard. There is an extensive electronics fit out - some of which requires attention. 

She is powered by twin 295hp Cummins diesels and has recently been antifouled. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to own and enjoy 50ft of comfort and style at a fraction of the cost. For further details or to arrange inspection on Sydney Harbour, please contact Ian Greentree.
