2014 Ker 43

Abracadabra" is now for sale.This Ker 43, designed by Jason Ker and built by Sydney Yachts epitomizes the idea of a superbly fast and competitive race yacht, that maintains a good level of comfort.A very proven yacht under both ORCi and IRC rating and her specification is about as good as they come, thanks to substantial investment for the 2025 Admirals Cup, as well as ORC campaigns in previous years.Equally at home inshore as offshore, these Ker 43's offer something different to the GP boats we often see in this space and with a powered winch system, a voluminous interior space and a top level inventory, she has an awful lot to offer her next owner.No question - Abracadabra needs a second look!

This brilliantly spec'd racer is a real best of both worlds machine, offering high level speed / fun factor, yet incorporating a softer interior than you may expect. Not only that she has proven her on both ORCi and IRC, so plentiful options for her next owner. When describing ABRACADABRA's interior, the phrase a "Wolf in sheep's clothing" springs to mind, as with the boat setup in cruising mode, she really is a very comfortable and spacious platform. With the kit removed and offshore items in situ, she rapidly transforms back into a true racer. All exposed moulded surfaces in white high gloss gel coat featuring Wenge timber trim.
