MARGARET RINTOUL V (MRV) is performance cruising sloop designed by the world renowned German Frers and built by one of Australia best in Boatspeed. She is a modern classic that is regarded as one of the most beautiful yachts on the Australian East Coast.
MRV's beautiful hull features a raked stem, L shaped, lead bulb bottom fin keel with a carbon blade rudder. Constructed in FRP over an end grain balsa core the hull boasts strength and integrity whilst also being light, stiff and very fast. There is a comfortable and easily accessible aft scoop for boarding and swimming.
MRV is simple on deck with sunken Harken furler forward, freshly re sprayed decking and minimal teak for ease of maintenance. She has a large aft cockpit, ideal for entertaining and the electric hydraulic Lewmar winches make short handed racing or cruising very easy.
MRV sports a 26 metre carbon, white painted triple aft swept rig with recently serviced Nitronic S/S rod rigging, Kevlar backstay, Fredrickson car system and a carbon with a lazy Jack bag. The Navtec hydraulic vang, outhaul and backstay adjuster makes this rig simple and straight forward however capable of highest level racing when needed.
Below decks the interior is finished in a very high quality American Rock Maple joinery, carpet and a padded headliner. As you come down below there is a large u shaped galley with an abundance of storage, a 4 burner gas stove and full oven, microwave, refrigerator and separate freezer.
