Mallard Mallard 9 used

Designed by Philippe Harlè, the Mallard 9 offers an ideal balance of stability and performance for those looking for a seaworthy 8.95-meter vessel. Built in 1980 and maintained in excellent condition, this used boat underwent a comprehensive retrofit in 2019, including hull treatment, rig inspection, and mechanical updates to ensure optimal reliability. Equipped with a custom 28 HP Yanmar engine—a significant upgrade over the standard 14 HP model—this yacht delivers ample power. The propulsion system is supported by dual diesel filters and a choice of two propellers: a fixed two-blade and a three-blade folding propeller. The sail plan features a 49.5 sqm Marconi rig with masthead jib, roller mainsail on the boom, and a roller furling jib, complemented by a new gennaker with sock for downwind performance. Practicality meets comfort with a 2-meter interior headroom, six berths, and a refreshed interior including new cushion upholstery and a marine WC with an electric flush. The cockpit has been revitalized with new teak, and exterior convenience is enhanced by a new bimini top and a stern swim platform. The hull has received professional anti-osmosis treatment, and all thru-hull valves were replaced during the 2019 refit. Technical instrumentation includes an autopilot, depth sounder, and wind instruments, alongside shore power capabilities. This vessel is currently available in Italy with VAT paid, ready for immediate mooring and use. With its cast iron bulb keel and rudder supported by a skeg, this yacht remains a popular choice for those who value the classic, robust construction of French sailboat manufacturing.
