1974 Fred Parker 65' Classic Steel Ketch na prodaju

Designed in 1969 by the legendary Frederick R. Parker and launched in 1974 in Western Australia, this classic 65-foot steel ketch blends timeless elegance with true ocean-going capability.
We have been the second owner since now over 30 years.
She is a perfect world cruising yacht with an amazing stability (originally surveyed for 51 pax plus 2 crew in partially smooth waters and 12 guests overnight for offshore cruising).
We used her privately over the last 16 years partially as a liveaboard.
Her vast beam allows for an unusually comfortable spacious interior which is rare with a 65' classic yacht design.
Her flush deck is not compromising her interior headspace.
Her wooden interior (West Australian Jarrah and Rosewood) creates all the interior warmth which you would expect from a vessel of this age.
Her Ketch rig has proven to be of easy handling while cruising offshore even low-handed.
She has given us a lot of pleasure for many of years. Time / age has come now to pass her on to a new passionate owner / caretaker with a vision for years to come.
Those looking for a classic vessel that is ideal for sail training activities or corporate use in combination with established hospitality activity might find this yacht to be ideal.
