Expertly crafted by Cantieri Merani in Civitanova Marche, this 1959 Merani Aliseo represents a distinguished piece of maritime heritage. This wooden sloop has undergone significant maintenance cycles, including a total structural restoration in 1993/1994 and a comprehensive refitting in 2003/2004. During these periods, the vessel received a hull revision, complete painting, teak restoration, and the installation of two stainless steel water tanks (100 liters each) alongside an 180-liter stainless steel fuel tank. The sail inventory is extensive, encompassing two mainsails, a staysail, a genoa, a jib, a storm jib, and a gennaker.
The interior layout maximizes space within the 9.15-meter hull, featuring one cabin and one bath. The living quarters include a dinette and galley, with a total accommodation capacity for up to five berths, making it a functional choice for coastal sailing. The technical configuration was further updated in 2011 with the replacement of batteries and the onboard charger, ensuring reliable operation for the next owner.
This used boat is finished to a high standard, with a current condition noted as excellent. The vessel features a specialized sail plan that was enlarged during the 1993 refit to improve performance and agility on the water. With a beam of 2.75 meters and a draft of 1.5 meters, it provides a stable yet responsive sailing experience characteristic of mid-century wooden construction.
This vessel is currently available in Italy. The asking price is 25.000 EUR, with VAT status confirmed as paid. Interested parties should note the consistent annual engine maintenance performed to ensure the mechanical longevity of the boat.
