Designed by Peter Cole for his own family, and described as a “cruising gem” by Sailing magazine. ‘Aurora’ is intelligently designed and skilfully crafted to provide deck space, living accommodation and stowage capacity comparable with a 40’ yacht, at a fraction of the marina fees.
Upgraded with new rigging, sails, and modern electronics (2022/23), Aurora is primed for her next voyage. With an easy to handle Bermuda Sloop rig and new re-caulked, sanded and sealed teak deck (2023), she exudes classic charm. While her new navigational inventory (2022) promises effortless orientation.
The combination of her Power Survivor Watermaker and 2 x 40-watt solar panels allow self-sufficiency, enabling extended voyages and secluded anchoring. With a new Rocna anchor (2022) and Lofrans electric windlass, she is ideal for exploring remote destinations and enjoying prolonged stays off-grid.
Below deck, discover handcrafted hardwood interiors offering spacious accommodation. Her forward cabin has ample storage, and ‘L’ shaped galley boasts a new stainless steel sink. The generous aft double cabin comes with a 6ft length double bunk, and a small curved sofa with plenty of storage options. She has also been fitted with new LED lighting (2023) throughout the interior.
This modernized classic-styled cruiser awaits her next adventure, currently lying in Sicily and ready for viewing.
