Details
Beneteau got the balance just right when they brought together renowned naval architect Bruce Farr with Italian design team Pininfarina ( think Ferrari and Alfa Romeo ). This formidable duo produced a fast, sleek yacht with loads of eye catching lines both inside and out. Ethel Jean is an exceptional example of how a performance cruiser should present when well used and well cared for. Aboard you'll find an abundance of features like airconditioning, new upholstery, well laid out and clearly marked systems, an upgraded, (thanks to her current tech whizz owner) electronics / systems package, large refrigeration, two heads with showers, three spacious cabins and a well maintained fresh water cooled 65hp Perkins diesel. She also comes with a very good sail wardrobe a dedicated sail locker, tender, outboard, recently refurbished teak decking and a commercial grade antifoul application not due again until 2025. Located at her yacht club berth on Manly Harbour in Qld, Ethel Jean is ready for inspection and awaits those seeking the rare combination of a high performance cruiser with all the comforts of home packaged in well presented and stylish production built yacht.
