Details
For sale is this special yacht.
Strongly built by Kanga Birtles (Jarkan Yachts) for his own use. She was built as a short handed
racing yacht. Still very competitive today. According to Kanga she would probably readily win a Syd Hobart as she is fast and would have a significant age allowance.
Her
current owner has lavished vast amounts of time and
money to bring her back to a condition recognised by Kanga as "better than new".
Built properly with vinyl ester resins the finish achieved is exemplary. Judicious use of carbon fibre,
stainless steel and two pack paints showcase "Toccata's" fine aesthetics and detailed design
work of John King.
A recently overhauled
Volvo diesel drives through a new
stainless steel shaft, PSS seal to a new stainless
steel Autostream feathering prop.
The
rudder and stock were replaced to the original design, then finished off with a new stainless
steel tiller.
AllYacht Spars supplied new spars and standing
rigging, including a new ProFurl
furler.
The new boom includes a 2 position
single line reefing system.
New Brookes and Gatehouse
instruments have just been installed in a new carbon fibre instrument binnacle. Also included are late model GME G-Deck stereo and
VHF radio.
New
Jabsco toilet and
plumbing. All new Marelon through
hull fittings. New
water bladders.
The
galley has a metho
stove, an inbuilt
icebox, plenty of
storage, and a hand
pump (designed to reduce
water use).
The refurbishment has been kept true to the original design philosophy: Fast and Light.
This yacht now lends itself to further development into a fast cruising yacht, or leave it as is and enjoy competitive
racing.

single berths in the main
cabin, a V berth in the fwd

Who should buy this
boat:
Someone who knows how much
work goes into restoring a yacht and wants to buy one that has already been completed by a very experienced and skilled shipwright, who had an open cheque book to do the work properly
The further use of this yacht is as a fast racing yacht with an excellent age allowance or to add a few more creature comforts and go cruising.
Items that could be added for cruising:
Dodger (the stainless steel frames of the original
dodger are included with the boat)
Saloon table: Currently the owner uses a fold up table to keep the
saloon area clear. Aft Pipe Berths: The original pipe berths are included with the yacht, and could be recovered and reinstalled for use The mounting blocks are still there glassed onto the
hull.
Anchor Winch:: There is plenty of space and strength to install an
anchor winch. The space forward of the
collision bulkhead would make an excellent
anchor locker. A Bruce anchor (as new) and warp is included with the
boat.
There is no work to be done to resurrect this yacht, it's all been done. There are no underlying issues or unknowns, particularly because she is so well built from new, but also there is no inner hull lining to hide problems, (unlike so many other older yachts).
This yacht has been well and truly refurbished by a true "boating tragic" she is ready to go as is or design your own minor modifications to take her cruising.
