Stars End 2
FollowStars End 2 is a fibreglass Freedom '39 cat rig schooner built in 1984.
She is cream colour, with blue sailcovers and a white hard dodger.
The yacht is Australian registered, based in Brisbane, Australia and we have had the yacht 7 years having sailed her back from American Samoa where we purchased her, and have since cruised the east coast in Australia and for the last 3 years have been permanent live aboards whilst cruising New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji.
We are presently in Ovalau waiting for a weather window to leave Fiji to sail to Opua New Zealand.
