TASMAN was originally delivered to Seattle, WA, to a New Zealand client with over 50 years of cruising and sailing experience. His background included the ownership of a boat yard in New Zealand, where his team constructed an 86’ world cruising long-range vessel. After TASMAN changed ownership, she was kept in the northwest for a period of time by her second owners. TASMAN’s current owners dedicated substantial funds to adding a Seakeeper system, extended freezer and refrigeration, a voltage and cycles converter, and additional systems and cabinetry changes from the original design. These owners have cruised TASMAN extensively, and even shipped the yacht to Europe and cruised there. The yacht spent the last year in Grenada, until her recent arrival in Fort Lauderdale – a 1,500 nautical mile voyage.
TASMAN is now on the market, after a complete service of the stabilizer system, and some work on the engines and generators. With her 2,000 gallon fuel capacity, TASMAN has a range of more than 2,000 miles at 9 knots and is an exceptional sea boat in any weather conditions!
