In 1973 the 33ft MAKULU was the only German entrant in that years Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Today you can find her on facebook marketplace for sale for $2200 AUD.

Salar 40s were designed to be safe, comfortable, and seaworthy, and to travel long distances. ‘A round the world yacht’ was the marketing slogan when the boat was built, and it wasn’t just hot air.

I had a quick look at Yachthub to see what else you might find for this price…Nothing against old Beneteaus, but if space and comfort are your priorities then I suggest you stay at home.

This is one of the things we love about old wooden boats…For less than AUD$7000, you can own this incredible piece of history!
