Universal Shipyard Solent used

Expertly crafted by the Universal Shipyard of Southampton, this 16.28m Solent represents the golden era of ocean-going sailing vessels. Designed by renowned naval architects Arthur Robb and Robert Clark, the yacht is built entirely from teak. With a record of historic voyages including expeditions to Iceland, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean, and Cape Horn, this vessel is built for those who appreciate serious offshore capability. Following a comprehensive refit in 2011, the yacht received significant upgrades to its mechanical and electrical systems. The current configuration includes a Mastervolt electrical installation, a reliable engine, a generator, radar, heating, and an autopilot for modern cruising comfort. An Eliche a passo variabile propeller with internal handwheel adjustment ensures precise control under power. On deck, the ketch configuration is supported by a comprehensive inventory of 13 sails in excellent condition, paired with a convenient headsail furler and robust windlass system. The internal layout provides comfortable accommodation for up to 8 guests, with one cabin and one bath featuring a black water holding tank system. The yacht maintains an Italian flag and holds a RINA certification valid until 2029. This specific Universal Shipyard Solent is currently listed with a reduced price and comes with IVA Pagata status. Detailed photo and video documentation is available upon request for serious prospects.
