Leros, Greece

€54,450

Black Duck is a beautifully crafted classic-style liveaboard cruiser with a reputation for resilience and performance. Built with care and expertise, she boasts a robust ferro cement hull that has weathered both oceanic and coastal waters. With her impressive sailing record, including a journey from Australia to Greece, Black Duck has demonstrated seaworthiness even in challenging conditions.

Notably, her spacious layout exceeds expectations for a vessel of her size, making her an ideal choice for extended living aboard. The timber-finished interior is both inviting and practical, with ample storage throughout, including a large lazarette area that facilitates maintenance and repairs in port.

Having arrived in the Mediterranean in 2023, Black Duck has been fully equipped and serviced for future cruising, offering a comprehensive set of spare parts and accessories.

Over the 2023/24 winter, Black Duck underwent extensive maintenance and upgrades to ensure optimal performance and comfort for the next owner.

Hull

The hull was professionally built in 1981 and then placed in a shed from 1981 to 1998. This extended period in the shed allowed the ferro-cement hull to fully cure, which is ideal for ensuring the material's durability and strength before being placed in the water. In 1998, Ian Penney purchased the hull, completed the fit-out of the boat, and launched it in 2001.
