Engineering excellence defines this 18.13-meter Bakewell-White Pocket Maxi, a high-performance vessel constructed in New Zealand by specialists in carbon fiber and kevlar composites. Designed for those who prioritize speed and technical precision, the yacht features a sophisticated hydraulic lifting keel system that adjusts draft from 2.9 meters to 4.5 meters. The rig is equally performance-focused, featuring a carbon fiber mast and an extensive inventory of sails including four gennakers, carbon fiber jibs, and specialized storm sails.
This used boat has received significant maintenance and upgrades, with recent works completed between 2024 and 2025. Key technical enhancements include the installation of B&G Zeus S chartplotters and new mast displays, alongside a complete set of AGM service batteries. The hull and mast underwent a professional repaint in 2019, maintaining the vessel's striking aesthetic and structural integrity. Handling is optimized through Harken and Lewmar deck hardware, paired with a carbon fiber rudder on self-aligning bearings.
Below deck, the layout accommodates guests across 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, making it a capable cruiser alongside its racing pedigree. The interior received cosmetic refitting in 2024 to complement the functional design. Utility is enhanced by a hydraulic PTO system driven by the engine, which powers the keel mechanism and anchor winch. Onboard equipment includes a freezer, spray hood, tender, and comprehensive safety gear.
Currently located in Italy, this vessel is available for inspection. The price has been recently reduced, and offers are negotiable. For further details on this performance yacht or to arrange a viewing, please contact the brokerage directly.
