Built for speed and historical competition, this 1995 Custom Built Gilles Vaton 75 Sloop is a distinctive aluminum construction designed by the esteemed French naval architect Gilles Vaton. Originally commissioned by King Hassan of Morocco specifically for the Transat des Alizes oceanic regatta, the vessel showcases a build philosophy prioritized for efficiency and performance at sea.
Measuring 22.6 meters in length with a 5.5-meter beam and a 3.2-meter draft, the hull utilizes aluminum to balance durability with the weight requirements of a high-performance race/cruiser. Her history includes significant oceanic racing experience followed by years of cruising throughout the Mediterranean Sea under her current ownership.
Inside, the layout accommodates guests across 4 well-appointed staterooms, each supported by 4 private bathrooms. This configuration provides a balance of racing-ready utility and comfort for extended passages, making it an appealing project for collectors or sailors looking for a classic yacht with a storied pedigree.
This used boat currently requires service, offering a unique opportunity for a new owner to restore or customize a vessel with true blue-water credentials. The yacht is located in Italy, and the asking price of 290.000 EUR includes VAT-paid status, ensuring a straightforward transaction for potential buyers looking to invest in a piece of sailing legacy.
