Spacious and reliable, this 1980 Mallard 9 measures 8.95 meters and features a design by P. Harlè that prioritizes stability with its cast iron bulb keel and skeg-mounted rudder. The vessel underwent a comprehensive retrofit in 2019, including professional hull work, anti-osmosis treatment, and a full check of the fiberglass and keel bolts. With a beam of 3.10 meters and a draft of 1.45 meters, it provides a stable platform with a generous interior headroom of 2 meters.
Powering this used boat is a substantial 28HP Yanmar engine, an upgrade from the standard configuration, which includes a double fuel filter system to ensure reliable operation. Performance is managed through a Marconi rig with 49.5 sqm of sail area, complemented by a new gennaker with a sock, in-boom furling for the mainsail, and a furling headsail. Two propellers are included with the purchase: a fixed two-blade version and a folding three-blade option.
Comfort on board is prioritized for extended stays, featuring six berths with completely new cushion upholstery, a marine toilet with an electric discharge, and an onboard refrigerator. The cockpit has been renewed with teak decking, and a new bimini top provides essential shade. Navigation and safety are supported by an autopilot, wind instrumentation, and an ecosounder, with the boat currently equipped for navigation within 6 nautical miles.
Maintenance records confirm the hull was serviced in July 2023. This boat is currently located in Italy and is VAT paid. Interested buyers are invited to contact the agency to arrange a viewing of this well-maintained vessel, which is ready for immediate mooring and sailing.
