Just dropped the price to 59k, cant beat it for a category 2 race boat that you can also do extended cruising with the family.

brilliant for short handed or solo races as well, all control lines come neatly into the cockpit.

Fancy doing 20 knots through Cook straight with the kite up, while making cups of tea !!, Oracle can do it all. very stable and seaworthy.

fits in a 10m berth, currently at westhaven on a cheaply rented private berth, that can be transferred to new owner.

snorkeling places with the kids, including the Cove at Rakitu island.

BBQ/Freezer/Solar panel/boom tent/ intergrated auto helm etc.

  An action shot of Oracle in the 2017 2 handed Round North Island Race, we placed 1st in Division 4

here she is creaming along under spinnaker in Cook Strait at about 18kn,me on the helm while max made tea and sandwiches below for lunch.

We were second overall until the stormy leg round East Cape from Napier to Auckland, All the yachts our size pulled into Gisborne but Oracle got through 

trailing all the larger yachts copping the worst of the storm. a very strong seaworthy yacht for 9.7m, getting through 6-7m waves and 50-60 knoys

head winds and an adverse 2-3kn current at East Cape is not for the faint hearted or a yacht that hasn't been set up properly.

next update, Raced in the Route 66 race from Auckland to Whangarei, last weekend, in the single handed division for the extra challenge, came in 3rd online and 3rd on handicap.

great race but very light wind 1-4 knots a lot of the time, not ideal for Oracle as we dont carry a code zero. more fun sailing home on saturday in the 25kn south easterly. 

Oracle just chewed up the miles.

Still for sale and price dropped further.

competed in the last for 2019 summer season RYC race last night. FIRST online and on handicap.

can't beat the mighty ORACLE. beat all the mrx's, stewart 34's etc

A really well sorted and maintained Performance cruiser, we completed the above race with all cruising gear onboard including BBQ, bedding, 200ltr water and enough food for a week from cruising previously.

getting some enquiries now we have dropped the price to 49k. considering Oracle was valued professionally at 85k only 5 years ago when she was sold into partnership,

who ever buys her is getting a real bargain. Oracle has also had new sails and an interior repaint since then too.

the below Jpeg is of Oracle winning a race a few years ago in the wednesday night series, with all the MRX's, stewart 34's and farr 1020's behind us.RNZYS - oracle win.jpg

Oracle - for sale, another price drop  $45k

a whole lot of spacious and fast sailing to be had for not much money.

wether you want to cruise far north with the family for a month, or complete in wednesday night races at the front of the fleet, or even complete 2 handed in

the ssanz round north island race, this is the yacht that is all set up and great for all the above.
