"Ruby Blue" is currently berthed in Manly Harbour, Brisbane Queensland where she is available for immediate purchase. Her open plan living area, with panoramic views from the saloon, large practical galley space with 3 burner gas cook top, with oven and grill and her generous bench space for preparing food, are just some of the stand-out features of this model, ensuring that she feel like a home on the water.
