Chimere is a strong and proven vessel, equipped for extensive cruising, or remote voyaging.  With 5 private cabins - and bunks for 10 or more - she will suit an experienced, discerning buyer looking for a safe, go-anywhere boat with room for friends and family, or to liveaboard capabilities have been well demonstrated through having completed four medical-transport-aid missions (with Medical Sailing Ministries Inc. www.msm.org.au) to the remote islands of Vanuatu between 2009 and 2017.

Each mission was of six months duration and in total involved around 100 sailing and medical volunteers, each coming and going at pre-determined times and locations, with between 11 and 13 people living aboard for two weeks at a time. 

Professionally maintained and slipped every 1-2 years, Chimere is normally berthed at Westernport Marina Hastings (VIC). She did a circumnavigation of Tasmania in 2019 and is currently berthed in Wellington (NZ) having made it half way through a four-month voyage around New Zealand, before COVID-19 hit. Current plans should see her return to Westernport in May 2021.

In many respects Chimere resembles a small ship, with her high bulwarks, clear decks, snug cockpit and significant storage capacity. Whilst her relatively low rig means she doesn't point to windward like a modern, light weight production boat, she can clock a lazy 7-8 knots with minimal heal, when the wind moves just off the bow. Consuming around 4-5 litres of diesel per hour, the 85hp Perkins motor makes motor-sailing a viable option when deadlines need to be met, or the wind dies off. With total diesel storage of 1,400 litres, this translates into a range of around 1,500 - 2,000 NM at 1800RPM. 

"Chimere" translates from the French into something akin to "chasing rainbows", or "unachievable dream". But for us, Chimere has been the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to sail the South Pacific. Since her purchase in 2006, we have maintained a constant program of improvements, additions and enhancements; all the while paying professionals to undertake most installations and maintenance. After 14 years and owing to changed family circumstances, we must now reluctantly put Chimere on the market. 

Chimere is extremely strong, has a draft of around 1.8m and was built in 1984 by Barrenjoey Yachts in NSW, with the Jean Vinges design being based on the MacLear and Harris (Abeking & Rasmussen built), yacht Angantyr

Designed by the late Prof Peter Joubert and solidly built by Rod Levy in 1968, the Joubert Wombat 42 class &#39;Widgeon&#39; is an iconic Melbourne yacht that has delivered good racing results offshore, including two races to Fiji and three Melbourne-Hobarts along with a successful local club racing history on Port Phillip for over 50 years. She remains in excellent condition, structurally very sound and dry. Wheel steered, masthead rigged and with a&nbsp;deep,&nbsp;safe cockpit, this is a yacht to take you anywhere. The sail wardrobe comprises 2 mainsails, 4 genoas, 3 spinnakers, a staysail and storm tri-sail. She is powered by a Perkins 4-108 shaft drive marine diesel in great running order. Her roomy interior sleeps up to&nbsp; eight&nbsp;with a dinette table, an enclosed toilet, a good galley with a fridge and a good sized chart table with navigators seat. There&#39;s plenty of headroom throughout this spacious yacht. Solidly constructed in fibreglass sheathed marine plywood with properly engineered solid hardwood ribs, stringers and frames, she is fast and seaworthy. Her topsides were repainted about 5 years ago. The generous volume of her hull would lend itself to a comfortable cruising conversion or she can continue to club race as she is. Widgeon is an Australian Registered vessel.
