Expertly crafted in 1963 by the Bianchi e Cecchi shipyard in Cogoleto, this 8.18-meter wooden vessel known as SHUNA is a remarkable example of classic boat building. Originally constructed as a gozzo pontato using triple-layer laminated wood, the boat has been preserved and recently restored to ensure its continued performance and aesthetic appeal. In 2022, the exterior received new solid teak decking along with professional wood maintenance, underscoring the care invested in this historic cutter.
Beneath the deck, the vessel is powered by its original 3-cylinder Lister diesel engine, delivering 27hp at 2800 rpm. The propulsion system is supported by hydraulic steering and Vetus controls. Stability and performance are enhanced by a substantial ballast configuration, featuring 700 kg of internal lead ballast complemented by a 2000 kg keel ballast. This traditional setup ensures a stable and authentic sailing experience for those who appreciate the craftsmanship of the early 1960s.
The layout includes one cabin and one bath, providing comfortable utility for a maximum capacity of 6 people on board. Its history is well-documented, with original certification indicating its origins as a Marconi-rigged boat. With its VAT-paid status and recent restoration work, this vessel is ready for a new owner who values the character of a classic wooden sailing yacht.
This boat is located in Italy and is currently listed at 35.000 EUR. Please contact us for further information regarding current availability and to arrange a viewing of this unique Bianchi e Cecchi Cutter.
