For 12 years we have done just that but now, regrettably,
we must find a new owner for our 'home', "Cyrene II"!
The Bluewater 400 is probably the best cruising yacht ever built in Australia, with world class construction and fitout, and exceptional performance. Cyrene II has been lightly used, is in excellent condition with an impressive inventory, and is ready to sail anywhere.

What Memories
"Family, friendships, racing, sailing, Club rendezvous, swimming, anchorages, fishing stories, weather highlights and worries, relaxation, dinghy disasters, new horizons, pottering on the waters of Pittwater, Sydney Harbour celebrations, sailing the coastline from Ulladulla to Lizard Island, the sparkling Whitsundays, and the ever memorable Louisiade Archipelago."
|
 |
What Adventures
"So many islands from eastern Brooker to western Rossel, so many welcoming nationals, trading, fishing, an abundance of mud crab and lobster meals, numerous crocodiles – limited swimming, meeting yachties from around the world, Snake Passage, and a connection with one particular island, Nimowa, which remains strong and unbreakable to this day."

What A Decision
"After retiring from our busy jobs and Sydney life in 2000 we knew we needed a change. Our 9m racing yacht, although adequate for weekend liveaboard on Pittwater just wasn't going to cut it for cruising further afield. And then we were introduced to a Bluewater 420 and were instantly smitten. Kevin recognised the strength, layout, craftsmanship, sea worthiness, safety and its nautical beauty.
A search enabled us to find our own, Cyrene II, our perfect purchase. Ahead of us was an amazing learning curve, but enjoying luxurious conditions aboard, confident in the seaworthiness of the vessel built for Australian conditions, combined with the sighting of dolphins and the occasional whale drew us inevitably into the dream
that is – cruising life." |
