Vessel Name Wallop

If you love to get out on the water and sail around our beautiful Sydney Harbour in the afternoon - twilight races or simply go exploring, then this is the yacht for you.  She is a true classic and a real head turner.  Her elegant lines, classic timber finishes and well maintained history are what keeps 'Wallop' a step above the rest.   

She was built in 1973 and is hull no. 17.  She is a one design, fractional rigged, racing sloop with raked stem, fin keel, skeg rudder arrangement and transom stern. 

'Wallop' offers a great sail kit featuring:

  • 1 x 2 year old mainsail
  • 1 x  asymmetrical spinnaker 
  • 1x  symmetrical spinnaker
  • 2 x jibs

A new reconditioned 10 hp Bukh sail drive engine has just been installed and done less than 5 hours.

Her rigging is approx 4 years old and in good repair along with her running rigging.  She has 3 automatic bilge pumps as well as a manual bilge pump. 

All safety features on board are Category 7 compliant.

'Wallop' is highly competitive in her class and generally a scratch boat in the cruising division    

If you are looking for a beautifully built yacht that is ready to step on board and enjoy, then I highly recommend you take a look at 'Wallop'.  Her gloss varnished huon pine seating and teak comings are a real feature. 

She is an exceptional example of these Modified E30 - Etchells.  

She is in immaculate condition and is sure to be snapped up quickly.  Reluctant Sale.
