2012 Grainger 50 | Safiri

Safiri is an outstanding example of Tony Grainger’s highly regarded performance-cruising designs, expertly constructed by Hart Marine in Melbourne. Light, strong and exceptionally well balanced, this 2012 Grainger 50 delivers an impressive combination of speed, comfort and offshore capability. With her generous 8.1-metre beam, mini keels, epoxy composite construction and a light displacement of just 8,500kg, Safiri offers efficient passagemaking and excellent handling under both sail and power.

Designed for extended cruising and liveability, Safiri features a spacious saloon and four generous cabins, including two king berths and two doubles. Excellent headroom of 1.95 metres in the saloon and up to 2.0 metres in the hulls enhances comfort throughout. The galley, located in the starboard hull, is well appointed with new Isotherm refrigeration and freezer (2025), a three-burner gas stove with oven, stainless-steel sink and gas alarm. Two bathrooms with electric freshwater Vacuflush toilets, a 160-litre hot-water system and an impressive 1,500-litre water capacity ensure comfort for long-term cruising.

Propulsion is provided by twin Yanmar 54hp diesel engines with low hours, both freshly serviced in 2025. Safiri cruises comfortably at 6.6 knots and reaches up to 8.5 knots under power, assisted by feathering Seahawk propellers and SD50 saildrives. A comprehensive navigation and communications suite includes Simrad instruments, radar, autopilot and AIS, dual chartplotters (B&G and Simrad), Icom VHF radio, Fusion stereo and Starlink connectivity.

Exceptionally well equipped for off-grid cruising, Safiri features 840Ah of new lithium batteries, a 120-litre-per-hour watermaker, 3,000W Victron inverter, 2.6kVA generator, washing machine and an impressive 1,780W of solar capacity. Sailing systems include a 2024 mainsail and genoa, screecher, bowsprit, furling systems and electric Anderson winches, making short-handed sailing effortless.

Safety equipment is comprehensive and includes a six-person liferaft, EPIRB (expiry 2028), offshore flares, six electric bilge pumps and multiple fire extinguishers. Ground tackle is robust, featuring a 55kg Rocna anchor with 80 metres of 10mm chain and an Anderson windlass, new in 2024.

A custom 3.8-metre tender with 25hp Yamaha outboard, davits, hardtop bimini, deck shower, BBQ and a full cruising inventory complete this impressive package.

Tax paid in Australia, freshly antifouled in November 2025 and fully equipped for blue-water cruising, Safiri is ready to depart on her next offshore adventure.
