M.A.T. 1245

An outstanding opportunity to secure one of the most proven and successful IRC racer-cruisers on the Australian market. The MAT 1245 "Ex Bushranger" is a genuine IRC weapon with an overflowing trophy cabinet and a reputation for consistent podium results across offshore and regatta racing alike.

Designed to deliver exceptional all-round performance, the MAT 1245 combines serious race-winning capability with the comfort and practicality of a true racer-cruiser. Fast, powerful and extremely versatile, this yacht is equally at home around the cans, offshore, or enjoying extended cruising with family and friends.

Presented in excellent condition, this boat stands out with its impressive inventory, beautifully maintained interior, and obvious level of care throughout. With very little use over the past two years, she offers exceptional value for buyers looking for a turn-key campaign boat without the usual refit requirements.

Recent 2026 Maintenance & Upgrades

The yacht has just completed its annual service program in March 2026, ensuring she is fully prepared for the upcoming season, including:

Mast removed for full annual inspection and service. Standing rigging professionally inspected and serviced. Mast professionally repainted in Awlgrip. Fresh antifoul applied to hull, keel and rudder. General systems and maintenance checks completed.

The result is a yacht that presents exceptionally well both above and below deck, with nothing to spend before racing or cruising.

Whether you are looking to campaign competitively under IRC, take on offshore classics, or enjoy fast performance cruising, the MAT 1245 delivers the perfect balance of speed, reliability, comfort and value.

Serious performance yachts in this condition rarely become available.
