With the boat show looming it is all systems go here at Clipper. The show is one of the countries best and we are looking forward to show casing our 60’ Motoryacht, as well as our ever popular Heritage 40. We were to be showing the Cordova 52, but due to high demand we have none available to show at this time. We will be situated at Marina Berth D2, and would love to catch up with any Clipper owners who are at the show.
At this year’s Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, Clipper Motor Yachts Australia will launch its Cordova 60 Motoryacht.
Performance and luxury, form and function come together in perfect harmony aboard the Cordova 60. Inside and out the Cordova 60 impresses, with its timeless style, classic design and luxurious interiors. Designed by a renowned Canadian Marine Architect Trevor Bolt, the Cordova 60 represents the Clipper experience at its finest. With 2 x 660hp diesel Cummins engines, the 60ft Cordova brings long range voyage capabilities to the table and also the ability to make haste to find safe anchorage at 20knts. Some of the main features incorporated in the design of the Clipper Cordova 60’ is full walk around decks, 3 cabins plus crew quarters, large cockpit, fibreglass hard top, hand crafted teak interior and internal stairs to the flybridge, The dynamics of the vessel start with the semi displacement hull with the ability to cruise in comfort and style at 10 to 18 knots, with a very economical fuel rate. Darren Berry, Managing Director of Clipper Motor Yachts Australia is excited and proud to put his name and reputation on this new model. “The Clipper 60 has been four years in the making and I am very happy with all aspects of this boat” Mr Berry stated.

Maintenance
“Scrub the Decks” - If your boat has a non skid gelcoat a Jiff treatment will make them look like new. Use hard scrubbing brush and a little Jiff with just a touch of water to make a soft slurry. “DO NOT” Jiff the polished gelcoat surfaces or they will have their polish removed and have to be polished again. If your boat is finished in laid teak, then do not use a scrubbing brush. Instead use a 3M Doodle Bug, just like a kitchen pot scourer, only bigger. The action to use is circular, or across the grain of the wood. Try to avoid scrubbing with the grain. This will allow the teak to be cleaned without raking the grain out of the wood that a brush would do. This can be done in conjunction with “Teak Wonder” (available from Whitworths), it is a two pack system, cleaner and bleach, and it works very well to restore colour to the deck.
