RED HERRING II: Attractive, Proven, Spencer 45 Fast Cruiser

Description

Her modern sleek good looks belie her 1977 launch date, as does her condition with a series of long-term loving owners over the years.   This well performed and popular Wellington racer underwent a major refit in the early 2000’s to equip her for subsequent world touring duties- including two circumnavigations, numerous Pacific Island adventures, and extensive NZ coastal cruising- and she’s still a strong, powerful vessel and a joy to sail, just as you’d expect of a John Spencer design.

Features include:  1.9m+ headroom; twin sheltered companionway/sail trimming arrangement; 2023 complete replacement of standing rigging; 2024 preventative maintenance of engine and saildrive (inc cambelt and saildrive seal replacements); cutter rig flexibility; recent equipment upgrades; all standard cruising features including holding tank, HW, solar panels, great refrigeration; spacious cockpit and deck layout.

Red Herring II is reluctantly offered for sale due to her owner’s work relocation abroad.  Hull and engine surveys from 2023 are available on request.  Her Nelson Marina rental berth is transferable to her new owner.
