LYSANDER

Lysander was built in 1974 by Salthouse in 3 skin kauri. She falls under the category of – Mid Pilothouse Bridge decker. She measures approx. 49’ & is powered by a 325hp diesel that pushes her along at 10-12 knots.

As you will observe from the above photos, Lysander is a very well presented & one could easily spend an extended period afloat aboard.

Thanks to Ian McDonald for the trade listing heads up.

Thank you

I think this was my brother Jim Ravenhall’s when it underwent the year long refit at Half Moon Bay. She is a beauty

She’s on autobase but not trademe I think. Last time on trademe was around 300k. Wakanui was around 280 5 or so years ago.

Lysander is one of my dream boats. She was built for the Horners and is a sister to Wakanui. Mum has photos of her from new when she had an open bridge and a nice classic look.

Alan I think I emailed you pics of what I thought was her being built, once?
