CAROL KETCH Year 1980

- Already sold -

Designed by the american architect John Griffin Hannah, and built in classic wood (iroko) by the Pfister-Sirvent shipyard, the carol Ketch is the big brother of the "Tahiti ketch". She is a legendary sailing boat, very seaworthy, comfortable and safe. The passage in the sea is very smooth, the central cockpit is well protected.

Both the silhouette and the fittings are charming !

This boat, listed as a maritime heritage, is in exceptional condition: its current owners maintain it meticulously

Owner's words

This ketch is well balanced under sail and, when the wind picks up, under staysail and mizzen only, she navigates her merry way in complete safety.

After more than 30 years of family cruising, we are now moving towards a smaller sailboat for double-handed sailing.

Today the Oregon pine mast needs to be changed (€13,000) and one day it will be necessary to consider repairing the deck and the two teak coachroofs. This work leads us to a very significant (€40,000) drop in the asking price.
