Bathed in excellence, �Pelorus� represents an extraordinary opportunity to own an original piece of Australian Maritime history at a hugely reduced priced. Lovingly maintained and beautifully presented �Pelorus�, not only turns heads as she enters any bay or harbour, but also creates a certain presence that can only be described as maritime royalty. Whether you are making a statement or falling in love, �Pelorus� is the lady you have been waiting for. Powered by Twin 80hp Ford Sabre diesels which are controlled both from the pilot house and the glorious fly-bridge, along with a bow thruster, make a her a dream to control. Her history is extensive, built in 1935 by the infamous Halvorsen brothers she was then commissioned for the Australian Navy in 1942 working as a coastal patrol vessel off Townsville. She remained on the VCP books up until 1961, accomplishing various offshore trips including ferrying US officers on R7R trips to Hinchinbrook and other islands off the coast. In 1985 she was purchased by John Laws, the legendary radio and TV personality. John was responsible for her complete restoration, and once complete she served as his pride and joy up until 2001 when her present owner took ownership of the vessel. This is a once in a life time opportunity to own one of the most beautiful vessels on the Australian Coast.
