Dick Carter 84'

Defined by its legendary racing pedigree from the 1970s and 80s, this Fred Preiss Dick Carter 84 represents a unique opportunity to own a significant piece of yachting history. Designed by the renowned Dick Carter and built by Fred Preiss in the United States, this 24-meter wooden vessel was formally launched in 1977 in Redondo Beach, California. The hull features a robust cold-molded wood/GRP construction, complemented by a composite superstructure, engineered to handle the demands of competitive ocean racing. Accommodation on board is extensive, featuring 5 cabins and 3 baths designed to host a maximum of 12 people. The vessel has been maintained over the decades, including significant refit work performed in 1998 and a comprehensive electrical system overhaul completed in 2010. Its deep 4.3-meter draft underscores its performance-oriented naval architecture, balanced for stability and speed. Rigging and deck hardware reflect the boat's racing heritage, equipped with 10 Lewmar winches, 3 Antal winches, and 4 custom-made Lewmar hydraulic/electric coffee grinder pedestals. The sail inventory includes a 150sqm mainsail from 2004 and a 400sqm gennaker from 2002, both described as new at the time of their acquisition. These assets provide the necessary equipment for those looking to preserve the performance capability of this classic yacht.
