Some boats earn reputations. Others live up to them.Decimal Point is the latter. This is a beautifully presentedLotus 9.5— one ofAlan Wright’s most respected and enduring cruising designs, and for good reason.
Strong, balanced, and wonderfully forgiving, the Lotus 9.5 has long been the go-to choice for sailors who valuesafety, capability, and honest performanceover hype. Decimal Point stands as a standout example of why. She has clearly beenloved, maintained, and upgraded by owners who cared, not cut corners.
Step aboard and you’re immediately struck by howrighteverything feels — dry, solid, practical, and ready to sail. This is not a project. This is a boat you can provision today and cruise tomorrow.
Under power, her18hp Volvo diesel with saildrive and folding Kiwi proppushes her along effortlessly at around6 knots, quiet and economical. The engine has been well looked after, with raw-water flushing after every use — the kind of detail that tells you exactly how this boat has been treated. Electrically, she’s been thoughtfully modernised with anew switchboard (2023),LED lighting throughout,solar charging, andnew start and house batteries (2022)— giving you confidence and independence at anchor or underway.
The cockpit is everything a family cruiser should be:spacious, safe, and efficient. All winches were recently serviced (2025), sail handling is simple and stress-free with afully battened main and lazy jacks,furling headsail, andall lines led back to the cockpit— perfect for short-handed sailing. Below deck, Decimal Point punches well above her weight.
The interior iswarm, practical, and surprisingly spacious, with excellent storage throughout. Accommodation is generous for her size, offering:
· Aconvertible double in the saloon
