She is cold moulded in 3 layers of 6mm kauri and glassed, over kauri stringers and laminated keel floors. The deck is 12mm kauri ply over laminated kauri beams. “Allégresse” is very well cared for with all maintenance up to date and looking the part.
She has recently been slipped (August 2026) and antifouled, Prop Speed done on shaft and propeller and anodes replaced.
The current owners have had her since 2012 and they have enjoyed some extensive blue water cruising (two handed) around the north island and the the top of the south island in NZ. In 2014 they sailed her to Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia and it was also sailed by one of the owners in the 2023 Solo-Trans Tasman from New Plymouth to Southport as well as the owners competing (two-handed) in the 2023 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
“Allégresse” has resided comfortably in Hobart since Jan 2024. She is a truly magnificent and well credentialed (and proven) blue water cruising yacht which is in an excellent seaworthy condition. She comes with a cat 1 stability certificate and she has been imported to Australia.
