COMMENTS
Take the helm of one of the most elegant yachts around, with a magic name. Moorea is a Kettenburg 43 built in 1965 by the famous Kettenburg boatbuilding family of San Diego, California. She is a carvel plank masthead sloop. She has undergone substantial refurbishments over the past two decades (decks and cabin top, mast and rigging, windows, toe rail, engine, autopilot. She can sleep 7 in comfort. A full survey and antifouling completed in October 2024, and a full engine service (oil change, oil filter, fuel filters, impeller, hot exhaust pipe replaced, water pump casing gasket changed) completed in December 2024. She is turn-key to sail this summer!
