Farr 37 "Nire Lowa II" SOLD
$49,950 NOW REDUCED
MUST SELL. OUTSTANDING VALUE for MONEY
“Nire Lowa II”, designed by Bruce Farr and built by Cavalier Yachts has been cruised and raced out of Hobrt since new. The Farr 37s are capable offshore yachts with Sydney to Hobart and many other offshore races to their credit. They still club race competitively. Racing aside, these comfortable sea-kindly vessels are perfect coastal cruisers, safe, fast and easily managed. “Nire Lowa II” is set up to be sailed short-handed.... *furling headsail, *lazy jacks to manage the mainsail, *sheets and halyards lead to the cockpit, *an electric anchor winch and a strong, reliable Volvo diesel. Below deck, it is all about comfort with a spacious saloon, a full-service galley, a private bathroom (with hot/cold shower) and a private, roomy V-cabin. This vessel is well-equipped and presents in excellent condition. The current owner has maintained “Nire Lowa II” to a high standard. The bottom was recently sandblasted and re-epoxied and the standing rigging was renewed in 2022.
“Nire Lowa II” is reluctantly offered for sale due to ill health such that the owner can no longer manage the vessel.
