Duncanson Pilothouse Sloop 42’

Athena is a proven bluewater cruising yacht, built to survey in 1986 and originally commissioned as a charter vessel. She is well set up for comfortable long-range cruising or full-time liveaboard use, and would suit a couple looking for a capable, easily handled offshore yacht.

Hand-laid GRP construction by Duncanson Yachts in Adelaide, Athena has a strong reputation for build quality and seakeeping. She carries an excellent sail wardrobe including two mainsails, two headsails and a spinnaker.

Athena was last slipped approximately 18 months ago, with antifouling, Propspeed and anodes completed. Standing rigging is in good order and the vessel is currently insured.

A double-block mooring rated for vessels over 20 tonnes is available separately for $3,200. The mooring is well protected, offers easy access, and is sheltered in all conditions.

The yacht is offered at a significantly reduced price and represents excellent value for a serious cruising or liveaboard platform.
