Thanks for the compliments .
Sorry about the delay replying. We have been flat out here.

Yes, VAT is paid.

Sea motion is excellent. There are various methods of assessing displacement such as full tanks, half tanks or empty. I don’t think the displacement is much different to fibreglass cruising boats such as Halberg Rassy’s etc. The construction is certainly sturdy.

On advantage is the weight is centralised. The lead in the keel is low and with room for dinghy storage not living quarters at the rear, the weight is centred and this improves motion. The sea berths are also as low and as centred as they could possibly be and this helps comfort as well.

Do you plan to leave your boat in Greece until sold or is there a chance that you would sail west when your new boat is ready if it has not sold yet?

Greece and the whole of the Eastern Mediterranean is a wonderful cruising ground. It is an ideal starting point for a long distance cruising boat like this.

It does mean buyers from places like America or Australia have longer to travel initially, but it is well worth it

No, sorry. All of the above could be fitted without any problem, although the installation of a washing machine would eat into the workshop size, which would be a pity.

Re: PRICE REDUCED 48' Aluminium Bluewater Custom Built Yacht For Sale

Hi Nolex.....

Like others, I am amazed that no one has yet snapped up this fine yacht, so well maintained and managed by two very experienced cruisers.

Because both your contributions to CF have been of such value to all of us, I just wonder if an added teaching/mentoring offer to a relatively novice Buyer would be the added value, that to some could be "priceless".

Have you considered this?

Hi Noelex:
I am new to the forum and do not know if there is private messaging or how to use the system. I am looking for a quality built, well equipped sailing boat, that is fun to sail and capable or ocean passages in this size range. If you would like to communicate through email mine is jonbuilder@comcast.net.

Thanks Pelagic.

Where the yacht is located at the moment is the ideal cruising ground. Clear water, beautiful islands, warm weather and light winds all summer.

It would be a great location to teach someone to sail and we would be happy to do that. It might even include some instruction on anchoring .

That's a bit of a bummer on a almost perfect cruising boat for a couple. No fridge & freezer? Suggestions where this could be built in without destroying the interior?

I am having a bit of a re-fit & boatyard blues, this could be a nice escape vessel :-)

Hi Dirk

Yes, there is a fridge.

No freezer. My wife and I are not big meat eaters so a freezer not a priority for us. I realise others feel a freezer is essential. There is plenty of room to easily fit one.

Re: PRICE REDUCED 48' Aluminium Bluewater Custom Built Yacht For Sale

Hello Noelex77,

What a wonderful boat this is!!!

Sometimes I wish I had the time to buy such a beauty and sail.

I am a yacht broker in Greece and i might have a couple of clients who might be interested. Would you mind if i forward some details of the vessel to them?

Kind Regards

Yiannis
