Description

Quality and robustness. A classic boat ready to sail.

Alpa Nautical Shipyards. Cremona. Italy 1979. Ketch Motorcycle-Sailboat.

Main and furling jib. Mizzen with halyard. One-piece molded hull designed by prestigious architects Sparkman & Stephens. Constructed with fiberglass-reinforced polyester and hand-laminated. Reinforcement fiberglass longitudinals. Great solidity of construction and insulation. Fixed rigging in anodized aluminum and stainless steel. The central cockpit with teak wood makes the ketch a very habitable ocean sailboat. In the Cockpit we have two portholes that allow independence between the aft cabin and the rest of the sailboat. Interiors in well-preserved light and noble woods.

Very well built boats. Rather heavy set, but this adds to their comfort during crossings or heavier coastal weather. Require ~10-12 knots wind to sail more than 3 knots, but by 15kts wind you are cruising along at 6.5-7+ knots. This is a suitable world cruiser, if a properly maintained yacht can be found!
