Fretless returned from Thailand, after a BIG refit last year, and is now for sale again.

She has recently had NEW Sails, new rigging, a totally over hauled engine, new exterior and interior paint work, and antifouling. Along with new wiring, lifelines, anchor, new toilet, AND MORE! So she is ready to go!
If you are in the market for a small, strong, performance monohull, she is definitely worth your attention. She is tidy, with tiller steering, a roomy cockpit, and a hard top bimini.

Her head room inside is 6ft, so for a small boat, she still provides many people with an ability to walk and live with out stooping. She has a Vberth, and 2 single aft cabins, as well as drop down dining table that converts into a double bed.

It has everything needed to go sailing. Its a simple system.

The owner uses a simple bucket and "mandi" system for showering in the cockpit. And there is also room for an Engle stand alone fridge unit if desired.

Fretless is a classic designed Australian boat, built for world cruising.

She is already based in one of the most beautiful world cruising destinations, the stunning Langkawi Islands. A beautiful safe place to get to know your yacht, you can then adventure further, up the west coast of Thailand, and later across the Indian Ocean to Africa, or the Malacca Straits to Indonesia.
