Classic ketch design defines this 1980 Wauquiez Amphitrite 43, currently available in Port Grimaud, France. Measuring 13.6 meters in length overall with a 4.2-meter beam, this vessel represents a balance between traditional sailing aesthetics and modern reliability.

The hull, constructed from fiberglass, received a curative Nautix osmosis treatment in 2019 to preserve its structural integrity.
Designed with comfort and utility in mind, the interior layout provides three cabins and two bathrooms, accommodating up to 9 people. Deck features include two dedicated storage lockers and upgraded plexiglass portholes installed in 2019. The rig is equipped with adjustable aluminum stabilizers and a carbon pole guide, catering to those who appreciate refined sailing characteristics.
