Defined by its heritage and precision, this 1952 Camper & Nicholson 18 Mt stands as a testament to timeless naval architecture. Built with a sturdy steel hull and featuring a distinctive green finish, this ketch has been meticulously preserved, undergoing a significant refit in 2012 that included interior woodwork, shaft replacement, and a complete electrical system overhaul. The addition of a 2010 teak deck further enhances the classic profile of this historic vessel.
Designed for ocean passages, the yacht features a robust oceanic keel and a wooden bowsprit. Propulsion is provided by a 195 HP Cummins engine, ensuring reliable performance under power. The rigging, updated with spiral stainless steel in 2000, complements the sailing capabilities of the ketch rig. The deck layout remains true to its origins while benefiting from the essential updates required for modern navigation.
Below deck, the interior is configured to accommodate guests across four cabins, supported by three bathrooms. The layout provides ample space for longer voyages, balanced by integrated comforts such as air conditioning and an onboard washing machine. This vessel is an ideal candidate for collectors or sailors who appreciate the structural integrity of steel construction combined with the character of a mid-century classic.
