Details
'Lorita Maria' is a superb example of a mid 60's racer. She is remarkably well preserved, ocean capable, and shows the care of a qualified engineer owner. Her pedigree and provenance make her a very desirable boat to enjoy and own. Reasons for this sale are genuine. I really do advise an inspection, and take advantage of all the good work and upkeep already done.
'Lorita Maria' is "Royalty" as far as Australian Yachts. She was built for Norman Rydge and has the unique record of racing the Hobart, the Fastnet, the Bermuda Race and also the Trans Atlantic Race of 65. She remains in extremely sound and strong condition, ready for next adventures.
