Pretty as a picture and a timeless classic, we are proud to present this immaculate Bay Cruiser for sale. Polaris is a 1970, Ray Kemp 26 foot timber bay cruiser � motor sailer, built from carvel construction in Huon Pine and with teak decks all in beautiful condition. She is perfect for day tripping or weekenders with plenty of creature comforts and modernised for todays discerning buyer with an eye for tradition and practical reliability. Polaris is powered by a 56 HP Yanmar Diesel with just 635 hours and a near new control panel at the inboard helm. She also sports a sloop rig with Main sail and Lazy Jacks and a jib rigged on a furler and a powered anchor winch completes the picture for easy handling. A great suite of covers keep the weather out of the stern cockpit and can be rolled up or kept down or just open the mesh panels to allow for some airflow. A full bench stretches across the stern and aft is a folding swim platform and overhead davits for the beautifully maintained traditional wooden dinghy accompanied by an auxiliary outboard. The accommodation consists of a good sized V-Berth forward, enclosed head with electric flush marine toilet, helm station and a very neat galley and saloon combination with enough room for another berth. The interior is all gleaming varnished timber and full of character. Large picture windows allow lots of light in making the interior bright and cheerful. There are also custom covers for the windows to protect all that gleaming varnish from peeling or fading. Boats like this don�t come along very often and rarely in this condition. Priced realistically she wont last long so make an offer quickly or you will miss your chance to own this beautiful boat where all the hard work has already been done.EngineSingle 56HP Diesel EngineEngineHours635 HoursFuelCapacity280 LitresWaterCapacity280 LitresBallastYesToiletYesDinghyYesOutboardYesCoversYesAccomodationCABINS: V-Berth forward, Enclosed head on the port side, Seating / quarter berth on starboard<br>TOTAL BERTHS: 4<br>SALOON: Saloon; Galley, bunk / Seating / Storage under, Radios on starboard side; helm on port side; engine box / galley table and storage centre with dry exhaust, Companion way on port side.<br>HEADROOM: 6'<br>GalleySTORAGE: Storage on the port side and under seating on the starboard side<br>STOVE TYPE: Gas<br>GroundTackleANCHOR WINCH: Yes <br>ANCHOR: Plough<br>CHAIN: 8mm x 100'SafetyGearBILGE PUMPS: 1<br>LIFEJACKETS: 6<br>FIRE PROTECTION: Yes<br>FLARES / VSHEET: Yes<br>ElectricsLIGHTING: 12v<br>SHORE POWER: Yes<br>INVERTER: Yes<br>BATTERIES: 3 x House 315 ah, 1 x Start<br>SOLAR PANELS: 130w<br>ElectronicsGPS: Yes<br>PLOTTER: Yes<br>SOUNDER: Yes<br>AUTO PILOT: Yes<br>RADIOS: HF & VHFSailInventoryMain & JibRiggingRIG TYPE: Sloop<br>RIG AGE: 20 Years<br>FURLER: Yes<br>LAZY JACKS: Yes<br>SPARS: Boom
