About this charter

Designed by Cecil Boden and built by Syd Nettleton in Gladstone, Australia, Sinabada is a 12.2-metre traditional steel ketch. With a circumnavigation pedigree spanning three worldwide voyages, this heavy-displacement monohull offers reassuring seaworthiness and structural integrity. The layout provides an authentic, traditional cruising environment. Features include box-section Oregon pine timber masts, a tiller-steered keel-hung rudder, and a Perkins 40hp diesel auxiliary engine. On deck, traditional sail controls are complemented by dual forestays, spinnaker gear, and four manual winches. Below deck, the cabin functions as a practical living space fitted with modern essentials. It features pressurized hot and cold water, a reverse-osmosis filtration unit for drinking water, a 70-litre refrigerator, gas and kerosene cooking appliances with an oven, 500 watts of solar generation, and an electric head.
