Description

Built in 1970 by Joyce Marine (Southampton), this robust and custom-designed sail yacht from strong aluminium is a true classic for serious sailors and world cruisers. She features a cutaway long keel, an aluminum hard chine hull with plating up to 25 mm, and a thoughtfully engineered structure that ensures stable, safe, and comfortable offshore performance.
The deep and big mid cockpit ensures safety and dry even with higher waves (no waves come in with crossing :-) ) with instruments and helmstand underneath sprayhood protected, a 10 gal. daytank for running a full day without interruption even with stronger heeling, a skek, the rudder shaft driven by a thick cardan shaft (not by cables) and an hydraulic autohelm (with handheld) which works up to 25m vessels.

Price was reduced, as actually the annual antifouling not done yet, as well some cosmetical maintenance (deckpaint) would be nice. She is a real bargain by extreme lowered price, especially for her space!

Fully restored inside and out in 2017–2018, this yacht has been lovingly cared for and continually upgraded, with an impressive list of recent technical equipment and new parts, such as shrouds, solarpanels etc., dinghy/outboard – she’s ready to sail the world.

2 Cabins (2+3) with heads + 1 toilet head, sleeps comfortably 4 in two cabins or 6 for short term/ delivery.

The interior offers a bright, airy layout with high-quality refurbished white woodwork, creating a warm and spacious feel. Designed for comfortable long-term living aboard for 2 to 4 people, she combines solid construction with generous and airy volume, rarely found on yachts of this size.

The large and secure center cockpit is fitted with a sprayhood, bimini and removable side and aft panels, creating a fully enclosed cockpit – ideal as an additional living space during colder seasons.

She comes with a full inbuilt high quality furnishment, lots of new, extras like dinghy and fully equipped (pots and pans).

- a fun to sail with and live on - you must see -
