Vagabond Heart is a Transpac 49, built in 1985 by Transpacific Marine in Taipei. Hull 55 (of 60) she has cruised
extensively with previous owners, completing a 7 year circumnavigation in 2001. We have owned her since 2002, keeping
her on our mooring in Clareville, Pittwater in Sydney whilst we prepared ourselves and the boat for our own trip.
Having a growing family of 5 we needed a safe, spacious, easily handled yacht that also sailed well. Vagabond Heart is
all of this and more. A great sea boat and beautifully fitted out down below to make her comfortable and fun for the
family.
