1989 Custom Peter Cole 64ft Motor Sailer

This 1989 Peter Cole design motor-sailer combines classic schooner lines with robust offshore capability. Built by SE Ward Shipbuilders in Western Australia to uncompromising standards, the 65-foot yacht features a single-skin marine-grade aluminium hull and an adjustable centreboard allowing draft from 6 to 10 feet. The single Caterpillar diesel engine drives her at a cruising speed of 8 knots with a maximum speed of 10 knots. A 2,000-litre fuel capacity and onboard watermaker producing 1,500 litres daily support extended voyaging.

Between 2019 and 2023, the yacht underwent comprehensive refitting that included new wiring, refrigeration, air-conditioning, full engine overhaul, enhanced sail systems, and modernised deck equipment. Below decks, the interiors blend refinement with practicality. The saloon and formal dining area feature hand-rubbed teak, American oak soles, and leather upholstery. The galley includes modern refrigeration with deep-freeze capacity, a full suite of cooking appliances, and extensive storage.

The accommodation comprises a master suite aft with queen berth and private ensuite, two twin cabins, and a configurable Pullman berth. All cabins are fully air-conditioned with quality joinery throughout. The raised wheelhouse provides 270-degree views and a dedicated navigation station. Deck systems include a staysail schooner rig with Harken furlers, electric winches, and an extensive sail wardrobe. The yacht carries a sophisticated electronics suite with repeaters throughout the wheelhouse and saloon areas.
