Traditional craftsmanship meets reliable performance in this 1997 Sibma (5) Em 8.50. Designed by Ernesto Quaranta, this cabinato is constructed from marine plywood and mahogany, reflecting a classic aesthetic with a deep focus on material quality. The vessel has been kept in good maintenance, with recent upgrades including a new rudder bushing and axle stuffing box in 2022, and new teak decking installed in 2023.
Powering this 8.3-meter sailboat is a 15 HP Vetus turbo diesel engine with 1876 hours of operation and a reliable shaft drive transmission. The exterior is enhanced by an aluminum mast and boom, complemented by a mainsail and jib setup with a furling system. Its physical dimensions include a beam of 2.84 meters and a draft that adjusts from 100 cm to 185 cm, providing flexibility for varying coastal conditions.
The interior layout maximizes space with four cabins and one bathroom, offering five berths in total, including a double berth in the bow, one in the dinette, and two in the stern. The woodwork throughout the cabin utilizes rich mahogany, maintaining a consistent style between the exterior and interior.
This used boat is available for viewing in Cecina Mare at via Carlo Ginori, 95. Prospective buyers interested in this specific project by Ernesto Quaranta are invited to contact the agency for further information or to schedule an inspection.
