Representing the very first hull of the iconic series, this 1977 Franchini Yachts Adriatico 37 stands as a testament to classic craftsmanship. This wooden-hulled ketch has been held by a single owner who has maintained the vessel in excellent condition, ensuring its legacy remains intact. The boat underwent a total restoration in 2000 at the Fioravanti shipyard in Cervia, securing its structural and aesthetic integrity for decades to come.
Measuring 11.4 meters in length with a 3.6-meter beam and a 1.65-meter draft, this vessel offers a spacious layout featuring three cabins and one bathroom, accommodating up to eight people comfortably. The hull features a White System paint finish, complemented by a wooden cabin top. Maintenance remains a top priority, with recent upgrades including new cockpit hatches, fresh anti-fouling and zincs, new batteries, and restored teak on the swim platform completed in 2025.
Technical reliability is a hallmark of this listing. The rigging was updated in 2024 with a new stainless steel forestay, and safety equipment includes a new 8-person Arimar life raft. In 2023, the engine underwent a comprehensive service, including removal for a full overhaul, a new oil pan, a deep cleaning of the engine room, and new portlight gaskets. These proactive measures ensure the boat is as mechanically sound as it is visually striking.
This used boat is currently located in Italy and is offered at 71.000 EUR, with VAT paid. Please note that agency commissions apply to the final sale price. This vessel is an ideal choice for enthusiasts of classic wooden yachts who value a documented history and a rigorous maintenance schedule.
