A unique opportunity to own a beautiful and competitive racing yacht that has just completed a full refit. OUTLANDER (formerly SIREN) was designed by Reichel/Pugh and built by McConaghy Boats in Australia in 2002/03. A proven inshore and offshore winning design with many podium finishes in the USA and overseas, including the Newport to Bermuda Race, Annapolis to Newport Race, the Transatlantic Race to England, and the historic Fastnet Race.
A very well balanced and fast yacht that sails easily to her ORC and PHRF rating. When not racing, she has a removeable cruising interior that can be quickly installed or removed.
There is an extensive sail inventory, including a brand new Doyle carbon mainsail and a new North A1.5. All other racing sails are lightly used with plenty of remaining life.
OUTLANDER has been professionally maintained and constantly upgraded since new, with major upgrades in 2010/2011 and 2016, and has just completed an extensive two-year refit. OUTLANDER was purchased by the current owner in 2020, who has spent the past 3 years completely overhauling the boat and all its systems, with a goal to create an exhilarating high-performance racing yacht that will win races without sacrificing every creature comfort.
