The 1995 Pelin Crusader represents a serious bluewater cruising opportunity at a compelling price-reduced entry point. Measuring 13.48 metres on the waterline with a beam of 4.19 metres and a shallow draft of just one metre, this Kiwi-built monohull delivers the space and stability demanded by extended offshore passages. Designed and built by Pelin — a respected New Zealand production yacht builder with a strong following among serious cruising families — the Crusader was engineered for real-world ocean sailing rather than marina lounging.
The two-cabin layout provides comfortable accommodation for a couple or small crew, making her equally suited to weekend Marlborough Sounds exploring or longer blue-water passages. Her moderate draft opens up shallow anchorages that deeper-keeled vessels simply cannot access — a significant advantage in the stunning waterways surrounding her current Picton berth. With the 'Price Reduced' banner now in play, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-regarded New Zealand-designed cruising yacht at genuine value.
Whether you're planning a Pacific circuit or simply want to explore New Zealand's spectacular coastline in comfort and confidence, the Pelin Crusader deserves serious consideration. Inspect her today in Picton.
