Expertly designed by Artur Robb and Robert Clark, this 16.28-meter ketch has an illustrious history that includes voyages to Iceland, Brazil, Cape Horn, and the Caribbean. Built from premium teak at the Universal Shipyard in Southampton, this vessel represents a standard of craftsmanship rarely seen in contemporary production. The price for this historic yacht has recently been reduced, and the vessel is offered with VAT paid.
A major refit completed in 2011 modernized the critical onboard systems while preserving the structural integrity of the teak hull. Updates included the installation of a new engine, generator, radar, and heating system, alongside a complete Mastervolt electrical overhaul. The propulsion system features a specialized variable-pitch propeller, manually adjusted via an internal wheel for precise control during long-range passages.
The deck and sail inventory are well-suited for serious exploration, featuring 13 sails in excellent condition and a reliable furling jib. Anchoring maneuvers are simplified with an installed windlass. Below deck, the layout includes one cabin and one bath, comfortably accommodating 8 guests, with a maximum capacity of 10 people for day use. Practical upgrades include the addition of a black water waste tank to meet modern environmental standards.
This used boat is currently registered under the Italian flag with valid Rina certification until 2029. Interested parties can request additional photographic and video documentation by contacting Leopoldo Maggia at Pedetti Yacht.
