COMMENTS
Her sleek modern lines belie her 1977 launch date, as does her condition after years of careful long-term ownership. This well-performed Wellington racer underwent a major refit in the early 2000s for world cruising duties – including two circumnavigations, Pacific Island voyages, and extensive NZ coastal cruising – and she remains a strong, powerful yacht and a joy to sail, as expected from a John Spencer design.
Features include: 1.9m+ headroom; sheltered twin companionways; new standing rigging (2023); preventative engine and saildrive maintenance (2024 inc cambelt & seal); cutter rig flexibility; upgraded equipment; cruising features such as holding tank, solar panels, good refrigeration; spacious cockpit and deck layout.
Red Herring II is offered for sale only due to her owner’s relocation abroad. Hull & engine surveys (2023) are available. Her Nelson Marina rental berth is transferable to her new owner.
