Expertly designed by Ernesto Quaranta, this 1997 Sibma (5) Em 8.50 represents a refined example of classic marine craftsmanship. Constructed with a marine plywood and mahogany hull, the vessel is complemented by a teak deck which was renewed in 2023. Measuring 8.3 meters in length with an additional 50 cm swim platform, this sailboat balances traditional aesthetics with functional maintenance.
Technical upkeep has been prioritized, with significant recent work including the replacement of the rudder bushing and shaft seal in 2022. The vessel is powered by a Vetus 15hp engine showing 1,850 hours of operation. Rigging consists of an aluminum mast and boom, supporting a sail plan that includes a main sail and jib equipped with a furling system.
The interior is finished in mahogany, accommodating up to 5 passengers with a double berth in the bow, one berth in the dinette, and two in the aft cabin. A single head is provided for convenience. With a draft ranging from 100 cm to 185 cm, this used boat offers versatile handling for coastal sailing.
This Sibma (5) Em 8.50 is currently available for 15,000 EUR. Please contact the brokerage office to arrange a viewing or to request further technical documentation.
