Overview
About this vessel
The Swanson 42 has a reputation as a solid cruising boat. Shiralee is 46 years old and has been comprehensively maintained and improved. The exterior of the hull has been resprayed by Beashalls, the galley has been refitted with a new stove and fridge freezer, all electrics have been upgraded by Aquatronics and lithium batteries have been fitted. Recent antifoul was completed in May 2026.
All work on the boat has been catalogued with three folders on board showing dates and inventory of work done and parts installed.
The layout of the boat is ideal for liveaboard cruising. There is ample water capacity in recently added stainless steel tanks, hot water from a recently installed hot water system, a large aft owners cabin, a work bench with vice, and ample storage in the forepeak and chain locker. The sails appear in good condition and there is an inventory of gear that is genuinely impressive.
Shiralee is worth a look for the right buyer who will reap the cruising rewards that Swanson yachts are famous for. A December 2025 out of water survey is available on request.
