Colin Archer Double ended Gaff Rigged Ketch

Description

NZ Boat Sales are extremely proud to present to the market for the first time, the vessel “Irene” a Colin Archer double-ended gaff rigged Ketch.

Built by the owner to a high standard she is of ferro-cement construction with a teak coach roof, skylight and forward hatch. The interior fit out is in Iroko and 12mm marine ply.

Her masts are Corten ‘A’ galvanized steel, Gaffs, booms and bow sprit are all in galvanized steel.

Irene has a 72 horsepower 4 cylinder CT Marine marinized Ford diesel (recently re-built by Mitchell Mechanical) with a Borg Warner Velvet Drive 2:1 reduction gear driving a 23” propellor.

Irene has just been antifouled and is being presented at her best. The construction of Irene is proud testament to an owner who hand-made all of the deck and rigging along with a crafted interior.
