A 1998 Colvin 85 ketch built from Takin Tong hardwood, a dense local timber selected for its durability and resistance to marine wood-boring organisms. The hull and construction reflect classic Colvin design principles, with fine lines that deliver responsive performance under sail. The yacht carries a single 195-horsepower Cummins diesel engine and achieves a cruising speed of 8 knots with a maximum speed of 10 knots.
The accommodation spans six cabins with six heads, including a full-beam master suite located aft of the helm. The cabins feature substantial headroom throughout, with ensuite facilities in most. Forward quarters are arranged for crew comfort. A galley requires completion as part of final fitting-out.
The ketch rig provides ample sail area, and the hull form creates a balanced motion at sea. Most onboard systems are reported to be in reasonable working order. Minor work remains to bring the yacht to full sailing readiness.
