1985 Halmatic 30 MkII for sale in Kent

The Halmatic 30 MkII is a long-keeled offshore cruising yacht known for its well-mannered performance and ability to handle severe weather. It is easily managed by one or two people. These traditionally styled yachts feature a surprisingly spacious layout below, with excellent headroom and ample storage. This yacht was sailed single-handed around Britain in 2014. This well-maintained example includes an in-mast main and furling headsail for easy sail handling. It has received new standing rigging in December 2022 and has been continually upgraded, presented for sale in excellent condition. Built in 1984, it was used as a demonstrator in 1985 by Halmatic before being sold to the first owner in 1986.
