Broker's Comments
A fiercely competitive Offshore One design, the Hunter Impala is still a popular choice for budget racers today.
Designed by David Thomas in the late 70's the OOD Impala gained a healthy following due to her sailing performance and seagoing ability.
'Trissie' is a well known and respected local club racer. she wears a few minor battle scars and internally appears fairly minimalist, as one may expect of a racer of her nature.
She benefits from a relatively new mast and rigging- all under 10 years old and a near new (2022) lift up outboard engine with only 10 hours use.
A proven racer with some great recent investment, she would benifit from some TLC, which is reflected in the asking price.
she is currently afloat, but due to be lifted shortly for wash and storage ashore, making assessment and access easily.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
