Camper & Nicholson 18 Mt

Classic sailing enthusiasts will appreciate this 1952 Camper & Nicholson 18 Mt, a historic ketch originally built at the Astilleros Meyntjes shipyard in Belgium. This vessel features a substantial steel hull paired with elegant wood decking and a coachroof, maintaining the authentic aesthetic of a bygone era while benefiting from a comprehensive 2012 restoration. At 17.94 meters in length with a 4.95-meter beam and a deep 2.4-meter draft, the displacement of 44,000 kg provides significant stability at sea. The 2012 refit was extensive, encompassing a full interior wood replacement, a new electrical system, and an overhauled shaft. The teak deck was renewed in 2010, ensuring the exterior remains in excellent condition. Propulsion is provided by a single 195 HP Cummins diesel engine. The rig is supported by a wooden bowsprit and standing rigging replaced in 2000. With an oceanic keel configuration, this yacht is engineered for serious coastal and offshore navigation, offering comfort and safety for long passages. Internally, the yacht is configured with 4 cabins and 3 bathrooms, suitable for extended cruises with family or crew. Onboard amenities include air conditioning and a washing machine, providing modern convenience within a vintage layout. The vessel carries 2,000 liters of fuel for extended range.
