KINGSTON: ex whale-chaser, now beautiful classic
From chasing whales around Norfolk Island, to being the star of a TV series as the "Doctor's Boat", providing a fast and reliable medical service to Sounds residents, Kingston has subsequently been treated to fastidious maintenance and improvements by her most discerning current owner of 20 years.
39ft long and protected by high walk-around gunwales, her simple, spacious, light and modern interior layout is generous and works well. Powered by the proven Detroit 671 she starts and runs well, cruising comfortably at 15kts.
Features include: modern well equipped galley; large ensuite head/shower; huge berth forward plus convertible saloon settee; 6ft+ headroom; twin alternators to near-new battery banks; fully strengthened and glassed-over hull; ideal helming location with great access and visibility.
Kingston will be sold with her Havelock Marina berth being transferrable to the new owner.
Sole agency with Dealer Website . Please contact Mike Cameron or for more information, or to arrange a viewing.
