Expertly designed by Ernesto Quaranta, the Sibma EM 8.50 represents a refined choice for enthusiasts of classic wooden construction. This 1997 unit is built from mahogany with a teak deck—renewed in 2023—and features interior finishes in mahogany and marine-grade plywood. Its hull measures 8.3 meters in length, providing an elegant silhouette on the water with a draft ranging from 100 cm to 185 cm.
Performance is managed by an aluminum mast and boom configuration, paired with a mainsail and jib setup equipped with a roller furler. Propulsion is provided by a 15hp Vetus engine, which has recorded 1850 engine hours. Recent technical servicing includes the replacement of the rudder bushing and the shaft seal packing gland in 2022, ensuring the mechanical reliability of this used boat.
Inside, the cabin layout is optimized to accommodate up to five people, featuring a double berth in the bow, one berth in the dinette, and two berths in the stern. A dedicated bathroom is available, making this a comfortable option for weekend voyages. The total vessel length is extended by an additional 50 cm thanks to the integrated swim platform.
This Sibma EM 8.50 is currently available for purchase at 15.000 EUR. Prospective buyers seeking a vessel with traditional materials and updated maintenance should note the comprehensive care given to both the deck and the drivetrain in recent years.
