Overview
About this vessel
Designed and built by renowned East Coast boat builder Barry Kean, who apprenticed with Clem Masters, leading boat builder for Kay Cottee yachts. Flashpoint is constructed of strip plank WRC, epoxy sheathed inside and out. She was first launched in 1994 and actively sailed and raced by Barry until 2000 when he sold her. He then bought her back in 2016 and over the last 6 years has completely refurbished her. She presents now in nearly new condition and has yet to be launched since refit finished.
The custom-built trailer is also in as-new condition, with ports to allow the main components to be treated with fish oil for long-term rust protection. Flashpoint has a ballasted lifting keel with a 300kg bulb on the bottom, raised and lowered using an electric winch. She will be competitive with performance trailer sailers of similar length, and with her lifting keel is ideal for gunkholing around Moreton Bay and the Sandy Straits.
