Designed by the renowned French naval architect Gilles Vaton, this 22.6-meter Custom Built 75 Sloop represents a unique opportunity for enthusiasts of classic sailing yachts. Commissioned originally for high-stakes oceanic competition, specifically the Transat des Alizés, the vessel features an aluminum hull optimized for both durability and weight efficiency. This construction provides the structural integrity required for serious blue-water passages while maintaining the performance characteristics expected of a Vaton design.
The layout is configured for comfortable extended stays, offering 4 cabins and 4 baths to accommodate up to 8 guests. The interior spaces reflect the vessel's history as a dedicated racer-cruiser that successfully transitioned into a Mediterranean yacht. Its displacement of 22,000 kg and draft of 3.2 meters provide the stability necessary for consistent performance under sail, complemented by two 55 hp Volvo Penta D2-55 engines installed in 2014, currently showing 900 hours of usage.
This used boat is situated in the Mar Mediterraneo and is currently listed at 290.000 EUR, with VAT included. Prospective buyers should note that the vessel is in a condition requiring a refit, making it an ideal project for those looking to restore a classic racing pedigree to its former glory. The combination of a 5.5-meter beam and a 500-liter fuel capacity supports its functionality for regional cruising.
