Solent

Expertly crafted by Universal Shipyard in 1970, this 54-foot ketch is a masterpiece of classic design, created by the renowned naval architects Arthur Robb and Robert Clark. The hull, built entirely of teak, tells a story of extensive blue-water pedigree, having completed historical voyages to Iceland, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean, and around Cape Horn. This used boat is currently listed for 80.000 EUR, reflecting a recent price reduction from 85.000 EUR. VAT is paid, and the vessel is registered under the Italian flag with RINA certification valid until 2029. A comprehensive refit in 2011 modernized the vessel, ensuring reliability while preserving its traditional character. The propulsion system was upgraded to an 83 HP Lombardini LDW2204MT inboard diesel engine, paired with a variable-pitch propeller controlled by an internal handwheel. The electrical infrastructure was completely overhauled with Mastervolt systems, complemented by the addition of a generator, radar, autopilot, and heating for comfort during cooler passages. Designed for the serious sailor, the inventory includes 13 sails in excellent condition and a reliable jib furler. The deck equipment features a robust windlass and the necessary systems for long-range cruising, including a black water waste tank. Despite its classic layout, the vessel offers comfortable accommodations with one cabin and one bath, capable of hosting up to 10 people for day sails or 8 for longer voyages. This boat suits an experienced sailor who appreciates the integrity of a teak-hulled yacht with a proven history of ocean crossing. It is an ideal acquisition for those looking to continue a legacy of adventure while benefiting from the major technical upgrades implemented in 2011. The vessel is located in Veneto, Italy.
