AU $12,000 Or nearest offer
Classic Top Hat 25 Sailboat ready for new adventures - Free delivery across Sydney region, from Cronulla to Lake Macquarie.
Well maintained Top Hat 25 sailing yacht "Lapse of Reason" is available for immediate sale in Sydney's premier boating location, ready for both weekend cruising and coastal adventures. Top Hat 25 represents the pinnacle of Australian small yacht design, combining legendary seaworthiness with surprising comfort in a highly manageable package. Top Hat yachts have earned their reputation through many ocean crossings and at least 2 circumnavigations, proving their capability far beyond their modest 25-foot length.
The boat features a spacious cockpit with comfortable seating for six adults, complemented by a well-appointed cabin below that sleeps four. The thoughtfully designed interior features a spacious v-berth forward, private head compartment, port quarter berth, and convertible starboard dinette. The well-appointed galley includes a gas can stove, sink, and fold-out preparation surface. Generous storage throughout accommodates extended cruising, while the 50-litre freshwater capacity ensures comfort during longer passages.
On deck, the yacht boasts an 9.5hp Tohatsu outboard bought new in 2017, which can go both into a dedicated cockpit well, and a transom bracket. It also has a remote control in cockpit, elecrtic start and manual start. The sailing setup includes a bought new in 2021 furling headsail and a fair mainsail with new cover for easy handling, along with a set of older sails. Navigation and safety equipment encompasses VHF radio, depth sounder, autopilot, twin anchors, and comprehensive safety gear including EPIRB, flares, and life jackets.
The electrical system features 50 watts solar panel charging a near-new sealed marine battery, ensuring reliable power for extended periods. The yacht's exceptional build quality shows in the bone-dry bilges and single through-hull design, testament to her watertight integrity after decades of service.
Currently moored in Pittwater, delivery within a day's sail is readily available. The current owner who sailed this boat extensively in last 8 years, but bought a larger vessal now, is happy to take a new owner(s) on a delivery voyage to show the ropes, or just deliver it himself for a peace of mind.
