Universal Shipyard SOLENT gebraucht

Expertly crafted by the Solent shipyard in Southampton to a design by Artur Robb and Robert Clark, this 1970 Universal Shipyard SOLENT is a remarkable piece of maritime history. At 16.28 meters in length with a robust teak hull, this classic vessel has proven its capability on demanding oceanic passages, including journeys to the high latitudes of Iceland and the challenges of Cape Horn. Following a comprehensive refit in 2011, the yacht is equipped with updated technical systems to ensure reliable performance. The upgrade package includes a modern engine, generator, radar, and Mastervolt electrical installation. For precise handling, the boat features a variable pitch propeller with internal adjustment via a dedicated handwheel. The sailing wardrobe consists of 13 sails in excellent condition, complemented by a reliable furling jib and high-capacity windlass. The interior has been prepared for extended cruising, offering accommodations for up to 8 guests within 1 cabin and 1 bath, with a maximum capacity of 10 people on board for day trips. Comfort is maintained during colder climates with an onboard heating system, while modern convenience is addressed with an installed black water holding tank. The vessel currently flies an Italian flag with valid Rina certification until 2029. This classic ketch is currently priced at 80.000 EUR, with the asking price recently reduced. VAT is fully paid on this vessel, which is located in Italy.
