This is a rare opportunity to own “Australia,” 12 KA-5, the recently refitted 1977 12-Meter America’s Cup Challenger built by Steven Ward that was defeated (4-0) by Ted Turner’s Courageous in 1977 and returned in 1980 only to be defeated by Dennis Connor’s Freedom. She has been operating as a 25 passenger charter vessel, match racing against 1986 challenger, “Steak & Kidney,” (also for sale), and other America Cup classic 12M yachts for half-day trips of racing or sightseeing. In 2004 she was refitted for charter and repainted to original colors. Current Australian Coast Guard Survey & Safety Certifications: Class 1E for 25 passengers, 1D for 8 passengers. If you are looking to own a piece of yachting history, or start up a day-charter business in a year-round sailng venue, then this retired racing yacht has the potential to generate positive cash flow and an excellent income. Ideally suited for Captain & Mate, owner-operated and supplemented with part-time crew. Call for more details.
