About This Vessel
This 1974 Camper & Nicholsons Center Cockpit, measures 48 ft, and is located in Savannah, Georgia, powered by Perkins T4-236 102.00HP.
This is a proper sailing yacht from another era in yachting, yet with many updates and upgrades, it looks and feels like a much newer vessel. It is sleek, beautiful, and a performer. It boasts one of the best pedigrees known to yachting, built by the centuries old, world renowned, Camper and Nicholsons.This is a three owner vessel and has been generously cared for by the second owner since 1991. Extensively and professionally re-fit from top to bottom, inside and out in 1999, the boat embarked on a 10 year round the world voyage in 2000 during which additional work was completed including a fabulous redesign of the aft stateroom and head remodels. The 3rd owner purchased in 2020 and has continued updating/maintaining, including, but not limited to, new: standing rigging, radar, canvas enclosure, dingy, outboard and more!This boat shows better than many boats a fraction of its age. While the hull, and some fixed interior pieces are 1974, there is little on the boat that predates 1999 with subsequent upgrades following.This is an exceptional value for a buyer seeking a sleek true blue water European sailing vessel. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is
