Lying in Sydney Harbour, Lorelie is for sale. Seriously equipped for ocean sailing and cruising and perfectly set up for single handed sailing. Her builder spared no expense in her fitout and commissioning in Fremantle in 1980. Rolly Tasker said that at the time it was the most expensive rig they had ever done.

Dear Stephen,
Sorry non were sent to me but I can email the owner and ask if he could send me some to post.

I have noticed that Lorelei is still for sale, but at the significantly reduced price of $29,900. I was wondering if anyone knew what the story is why it’s price is so low. Sounds like it could well be an amazing bargain.
I know this boat. PM me for details.
