Overview
About this vessel
Thirsty Work is a very special S125, designed by Kim Swarbrick and built by Dave Clifton at Clifton Yachts in 1998. She's his own boat so was built to a really high specification. Thirsty Work has competed successfully in WA racing for many years.
She had a complete refit in 2022, not just a tizzy up but the full monty. Check out the details below, no expense was spared because Dave loves this boat. He may have over capitalised but that's to the new owners advantage.
Thirsty Work has very impressive performance when racing but the set up of the boat for fast cruising with minimal crew is great.
Details of Refit
Relaunched 6th October 2022. New paint — internal and external. New carbon standing rigging. New electrics and wiring and all cushions replaced. The galley modified to take an Engel/Waco 95L dual zone fridge freezer. There is also a large ice box for day sailing. Two 500kg water ballast tanks were added above the rear quarter berths which vastly improve sailing performance when shorthanded without impinging on room in the berths. The ballast tanks also double as freshwater storage when cruising. All running gear for the motor was replaced including gearbox, heat exchanger, shaft, shaft seal, flexible coupling, P bracket, Gori 3 blade folding 2 speed propeller, new gear box controls. The keel is lifted with a stainless-steel hydraulic ram.
