Oram 52 - a large volume GRP cruising ketch
Price Reduced! Eleven Orams 52s were produced by Alan Orams' yard in Whangerei during the late 1970's, being the largest and most luxuriously appointed NZ production yacht of that time. The design is a modified Herreshoff Tioga and like many of her sisterships, Jarokinbah has circumnavigated.
Recently used as a live-aboard in and around Pelorus Sound, she presents an opportunity to restore her to her former glory at a great entry price. With most sails near new and an extensive inventory she is a large volume proven and comfortable cruiser. Last surveyed in 2020, the current owner is in the process of retiring to land. The Havelock marina berth is transferrable.
Features include: hydraulic bow thruster and windlass; extensive solar panel arrays; 5kW invertor; diesel cabin heater; low engine hours; generous aft master cabin with ensuite.
