Launched in 1981, this timber Carvel Bridge Deck cruiser, custom built by Sydney boat builder Jim Dempsey, in 2 inch spotted Gum, is now for sale.
Escapade IV has been owned by its current owners for 15 years and has done extensive long distance cruising and many shorter holiday cruises in this period.

Vessel was originally built to survey in NSW 1E with copper fittings and is ocean going.
A recent out of water survey from January 2015 is available.
