Cruising ready with lots of extras!

Set sail tomorrow. Tradition is well looked after, fully equipped and ready to go. She's a beautiful, sturdy, bluewater cruiser with a spectacular interior. Step aboard and sail away.

Tradition is extensively fitted out for serious cruising. This yacht has proven her mettle, having circumnavigated Australia and sailed to New Guinea's Louisiades and New Caledonia.

The craftmanship is exceptional, with meticulous attention to detail throughout, including stunning interior crafted from luxurious Burmese teak.
Flexi-teek decks, offering the classic look and feel of real teak, without the maintenance hassles of a teak deck.

For sustainable and off-grid cruising, the yacht is equipped with solar panels and a wind generator, ensuring you have a reliable and renewable energy source.
A full North Sails cruising wardrobe includes Mainsail, Genoa, Staysail and Multipurpose Spinnaker, all in great condition.

A 75HP Yanmar diesel engine and bow thruster makes berthing easy.
Modern navigation electronics, radar and AIS ensure you navigate confidently on your voyages.
The electro hydraulic autopilot and wind vane steering provides 2 options of reliable self-steering.

The fridge (brand new) and freezer ensure your provisions stay fresh, even on extended journeys.
Electric head (with new macerator), separate (tiled) shower and marble benchtops.
Cockpit covers offer protection from the elements.
This yacht is truly offshore equipped, ready to make your cruising dreams come true.

We purchased Tradition in November 2024 and set sail in May 2025 from Mandurah, WA across the top end and have now arrived in Bundaberg. Our sailing adventure is coming to an end and Tradition is now looking for her next owner to take her on her next voyage.
