Island Gypsy 32/ flybridge cruiser - $97,000 Neg.

The Island Gypsy 32 flybridge cruiser is an immensely popular cruiser designed built by Halvorsen using top of the range equipment and second-to-none workmanship. Better known around the world for their beautiful extremely pricey and expensive to maintain timber yachts, Halvorsen in response to popular demands decided to build a more user-friendly and easier to maintain boat for people who appreciate a beautifully built boat but would like to spend less hours varnishing or maintaining a timber yacht.

The Island Gypsy was designed around the seaworthy fishing trawler hull shape, with a wide-beamed, stable hull with high bow and stabilizing keel. Her mid-ship installed engine and well positioned tanks help stabilizing the boat in ocean condition as well as minimize hull weight aft, reducing drag and enhancing performance. The Island Gypsy, like all gentlemen cruisers of her type, is not a speed boat, but will glide along effortlessly at around 9-10 knots with no wake and as little as 8L per hour of fuel consumption, making her an ideal family boat in the days where high fuel costs are making many power boats a lot less popular.

"Gunner" can only be described as immaculate. Her light tinted timber work inside give her a modern and spacious feel, as her beautiful teak decks and cockpit, which have recently been replaced and present in beautiful condition. Freshly painted, with a pristine woodwork, lining, paintwork, stainless steel work, etc, "Gunner" will appeal to the most discerning buyer. Owned by her adoring owners for many years, she has regretfully been offered for sale, but will be the joy of her next owners.

All equipment on "Gunner" is in perfect operating order, and her engine purrs along beautifully without smoke or any oil leak. Her bilge and engine room are pristine (always have been), and not a corner of the boat has been left without regular attention.

Easy to handle in all weather, she is one of the only Island Gypsies we have ever seen fitted with a bow thruster, which make berthing or picking up moorings a breeze. Dhe is also equipped with a bow spotlight, which make a big difference when anchoring or mooring at night.

Unlike other Island Gyspies, who sometime have a wooden deck, this boat has a solid GRP deck with teak over the top. The teak is of the top quality, unlike many production boat, and is almost 10mm thick, with fine, dense grain and caulking in very good condition. The whole aft section of the deck as well as the flybridge deck was replaced in late 2010 and presents as new.
