Description

Major price reduction August 2023 - Bring Offers Is Kialoa III one of the most iconic maxi yachts of her era? Yes. Designed by Sparkman and Stephens in 1975 for Jim Kilroy who had already owned two S&S yachts previously, so an experienced yacht racer/owner. Built at Palmer Johnson, she was originally designed/built as a 79’ Ketch Maxi for offshore racing. The year of her launch, Kialoa III went onto win the Sydney to Hobart race with a record time of 2 days 14 hours 36 minutes and 56 seconds. She held for a staggering 21 years! During her early career Kialoa III was well known in the maxi circuit throughout the world, wining nearly every big regatta going. In the late 70’s her rig configuration was changed from a ketch to a sloop and what today you see is how she has remained since about 1978. Kialoa III’s interior is standard for a Sparkman & Stephens yacht of this size and era, with teak varnish and contrasting white panelling throughout. She can comfortably sleep 5 guests in two cabins and the salon area and a further four crew bunks in the bow area. This is an elegant yacht from a bygone era of Maxi yacht racing, she allows for fast, safe and comfortable cruising but allows for big boat regatta racing at the weekend.
