I must say right away that you need to be a big fan of such sailing rigging to become the owner of a gaff boat.
The boat was built and launched in 2015 and in fact it’s a new boat with modern materials and equipment.
Three cabins — two in the stern, one in the bow. Two toilets — one is electric, the other is manual. There are also showers.
A galley with everything you need for cooking.
The interior looks like new.
The deck and cockpit are covered with teak. The wood is in excellent condition. In general, such a boat will obviously attract attention and enthusiastic glances. Especially if you will be sailing under full sail armaments.
A large set of fresh sails: mainsail, staysail, foresail, trisail, topsail, cleaver and fischerman. I’m sure that many of you, like me, have never worked with some of these sails. The whole set is in excellent shape.
The boat is equipped with a powerful Perkins 404-D22 diesel engine. There is a bow thruster with a separate battery.
Hydraulic steering control.
There is a lot of modern equipment on the boat: chartplotter, radar, echo sounder with the fish finder, AIS and more.
There is also a good dinghy with a motor and a life raft for 6 people.
Who do I think this boat is suitable for? I think you have to be a big romantic to buy yourself such a boat for traveling. I see good commercial potential in this boat. Considering that the boat is already in one of the most touristic regions of the world.
