NEWLY REDUCED


RELENTLESS is an Australian-built racer and a rare find in the United States. She is a highly regarded sailboat. This sturdy light-to-moderate displacement sloop should be on your short list for a Racer/Cruiser that is fully capable of both. Relentless is designed and built by Sydney Yachts. Known for its balance between performance, comfort, and handling, the Sydney 32 was created by the renowned design team Murray Burns Dovell (MBD), who specialize in successful racing yachts. Primarily intended as a competitive club racer, it also offers versatility for comfortable cruising, in part due to its amazing head room (6’2’’). Its fractional rig setup provides an easy-to-handle sail plan, offering an excellent balance between racing performance and cruising convenience with below deck comfort.

The Sydney 32 narrow sleek fiberglass hull, paired with a fin keel and spade rudder, ensures maximum maneuverability and speed in a range of wind conditions. Its racing pedigree is evident in its handling, with quick acceleration and responsive helm control. She has Grand prix features like integral carbon Fiber chainplates. The chainplates are molded into a one-piece laminated structural grid that incorporates the keel attachment, mast step, engine mount, and rudder bearing as seen on America’s cup boats.

The boat performs well both upwind and downwind, thanks to its fractional rig, which allows for precise sail trim and adaptability. She has great speed potential, simple sail handling systems and strong construction with decked rigged to keep loads low, easily sailed by a shorthanded crew. At the same time, she offers comfortable, beautifully finished accommodations, best of both worlds.

    Accommodations

    RELENTLESS – Rare Australian Performance Racer/Cruiser in the U.S.


    Speed. Pedigree. Comfort. Rarity.


    RELENTLESS is a beautifully maintained Sydney 32 — an Australian-built performance yacht and a rare opportunity in the United States. Designed by the legendary team at Murray Burns Dovell and built by Sydney Yachts, this is a true racer/cruiser that delivers competition-level performance without sacrificing comfort.


    Originally conceived as a competitive club racer, the Sydney 32 has earned a reputation for its balance, speed, and refined handling — while still offering exceptional cruising capability, including impressive 6'2" headroom below deck.


    Built to Perform


    RELENTLESS features a narrow, sleek fiberglass hull with a fin keel and spade rudder for outstanding maneuverability and acceleration in a wide range of wind conditions. Her fractional rig provides precise sail control, making her fast, responsive, and manageable — even with a short-handed crew.


    Grand Prix DNA runs deep:

    • Integral carbon fiber chainplates
    • One-piece laminated structural grid incorporating:
    • Keel attachment
    • Mast step
    • Engine mount
    • Rudder bearing


    This advanced construction — similar in concept to what’s seen on America's Cup boats — delivers strength, stiffness, and performance under load.


    She accelerates quickly, tracks beautifully upwind, and is equally confident downwind. Deck layout and rigging are optimized to keep loads low and sail handling simple.


    Performance Highlights

    • Carbon sails
    • Carbon chainplates
    • Carbon spinnaker pole
    • Custom red recessed steering wheel (high wheel-to-boat ratio for precision control)
    • Molded toe rails on foredeck
    • Cockpit foot chocks
    • Low-profile polycarbonate sliding main hatch
    • Second in Class – 2010 Pacific Cup


    Comfort Without Compromise


    Unlike stripped-down race boats, RELENTLESS offers beautifully finished accommodations and surprising interior volume. She delivers the best of both worlds: competitive speed on the course and true cruising comfort when the race is over.


    Why RELENTLESS?

    • Rare Australian-built yacht in the U.S.
    • Proven race pedigree
    • Strong, advanced composite construction
    • Easy to handle
    • Maintained to a high standard


    If you’re searching for a serious racer that can also cruise comfortably with family or friends, RELENTLESS deserves to be at the top of your list.


    Fast when you want it. Comfortable when you need it.
