Description:

1980 Sloop-Rigged Sailing Vessel 8.5m - Yanmar 2YM15 Diesel Auxiliary - 4-Berth Interior - Currently Moored Cleveland, QLD



Classic coastal cruising sailboat from 1980, 8.5m overall, sloop rigged with mast, boom, and standing rigging in place. Auxiliary power from a Yanmar 2YM15 diesel engine, shaft drive. This is the kind of vessel that opens up Queensland waters: the Whitsundays, Moreton Bay, Fraser Island by sail with diesel backup for calm days and marina approaches.



Hull and Rig

8.5-metre centre-cabin hull construction. Sloop rigged with a single mast, boom, and standing rigging. Shroud and forestay configuration consistent with a standard coastal cruising sloop. Rig condition should be inspected by the buyer prior to bidding. Sail inventory is not documented; buyers should confirm what sails are included at inspection. HIN: AUAEK000015QT9. Queensland registration: LW427Q.



Engine

Yanmar 2YM15 diesel auxiliary, 0.57-litre two-cylinder unit producing 8kW (approximately 11hp). This engine is purpose-built for sailboat auxiliary duty: it is economical, reliable, compact, and widely supported across Australia. Shaft drive to a fixed propeller. Engine hours are not documented and should be confirmed at inspection. Engine start and run condition should be verified by the buyer.



Interior Accommodation

Four-berth layout with a centre cabin configuration. Galley equipped with a two-burner cooktop. Saloon with dining table, suitable for passage meals and extended coastal cruising. Marine toilet fitted. The four-berth layout comfortably sleeps two couples or a family, making this a genuine cruising vessel rather than a day boat.



Location and Pickup

The vessel is currently moored at Cleveland, QLD. There is no trailer included with this lot. The successful buyer will need to arrange their own slipway recovery, marina transfer, or delivery by water. Buyers should confirm mooring access and pickup arrangements directly through Lloyds Auctions prior to bidding. Queensland buyers or those with access to local marine services are best positioned to inspect and collect.



Who This Is For

This is an entry-level liveaboard or coastal cruiser for the sailor who wants genuine range and accommodation without a six-figure spend. Queensland is one of the best sailing grounds in the world and an 8.5m sloop with diesel auxiliary opens up most of it. At auction with no reserve pressure, this represents a rare opportunity to buy into proper sailboat cruising at a fraction of the private market price. Buyers are encouraged to inspect in person, arrange a sea trial if possible, and factor rigging inspection into their pre-bid due diligence.
