Remarks and Inventory

Remarks

 

My photos show the boat back in commission late June 2025 as well as in winterized state in back in April. Like every year, she was taken out at the end of the season for =/- 6 months ashore. Everything is prepared for wintering. Equipment removed and stored in a dry place at the owner's premises (cushions, ropes, electronics, sails, safety, etc.) What remains on board is prepared it in such a way as to withstand the elements, cupboards open, floorboards lifted, etc. On the deck, many elements are covered for protection. A quick pressure wash, a few protective touch-ups. Bottom was sanded, keel refaired and new antifoul June 2025.

 

This is an owner with a lot of experience, well organized and caring. Kookaburra is in great condition.

 

The cradle visible in my photos could be sold with the boat at a small extra cost..

 

Kookaburra has been used quite little, especially in recent years – 4 outings in 2024. It's time for the boat to find a new skipper and crew for cruising or racing. The owner will help the buyer understand everything and, if necessary, will probably find the little thing you are missing in his garage.
