Step aboardMortimer McCarthy, a truly unique and character-filled Bluewater cruiser that blends classic craftsmanship with modern completion. Originally built in the late 1970s by respected boatbuilder Ross Wynn, her hull is a testament to traditional New Zealand boatbuilding at its finest—strip plank Kauri, beautifully formed over steamed hardwood ribs.
Carefully stored and preserved for decades, she awaited the right hands to bring her to life… and that’s exactly what happened. Completed and launched in 2015 by Keith Brafley, Scott Paterson, and Chris Williamson,Mortimer McCarthyis the result of passion, patience, and precision. The finish reflects a thoughtful, no-compromise approach—delivering a vessel that feels both timeless and capable.
Extended to 41 feet, she offers generous space and comfort, sleeping six with ease—perfect for family cruising or longer offshore adventures. Below decks, you’ll find a warm, inviting interior that speaks to her heritage, while still providing the practicality needed for life at sea. Power comes from a reliable 50hp Yanmar diesel with just 191 hours on the clock—barely run in—giving you confidence and efficiency whether you’re coastal cruising or heading further afield.
Most importantly,Mortimer McCarthyis fully equipped and ready to go. She has been set up for safe offshore passages, meaning the hard work has been done—simply step aboard, cast off, and start your next adventure.
