Built for speed and performance, this 1988 VR YACHTS ULDB 53 represents a unique opportunity to own a vessel with a proven competitive pedigree. With a length of 15.95 meters and a beam of 3.75 meters, this sailboat has actively participated in high-level events, including the ARC in 2005 where it secured 4th place, alongside multiple victories in Adriatic regattas and consistent participation in the Brindisi-Corfu race. Significant maintenance was conducted in 2008 to ensure structural integrity and handling precision. Upgrades included the replacement of the shrouds and their attachments, mast support, and steering systems. A new roll bar was installed at the stern, complemented by a retractable bow thruster and a carbon fiber bowsprit to optimize sail handling and maneuvering. The extensive sail inventory is ready for serious sailing, consisting of 2 mainsails, 5 jibs, 5 spinnakers, and 1 gennaker. Below deck, the layout accommodates up to 10 people across 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, balancing racing capabilities with essential onboard comfort for longer passages or cruising. Located in Italy, this used boat is offered with VAT paid, simplifying the acquisition process for prospective buyers. Its specialized configuration, combined with the comprehensive 2008 refit, makes it a distinct choice for those looking for a vessel that remains highly capable on the racecourse.
