COMMENTS
Having been in the same ownership for 23 years, Macaroon has been progressively improved over the past five years with no expense spared. Previously a successful club racer in Nelson, this Alan Wright design is a well proven, comfortable and easily managed coastal cruiser, ideal for family sailing holidays.
Features include: near-new Beta 30hp shaft drive, installed 2021, only 310 hours; completely rewired with conduit; transom step to boarding platform with swim ladder; top quality window and hatch replacements; chainplate replacements; compliant cooker gas; smart hull wrap; all lines to cockpit; upgraded nav and data systems; autopilot; 120l holding tank; tidy bilge.
The owners are progressing from sailing to motorboating, and her Nelson Marina berth may possibly be transferable to her new owner. The work they have completed has resolved all of the normal niggly "boat issues", and she is ready to go.
