Jim Acher at bluewater in Palma, Spain, tells me that he's signed the 25.1m performance sailing yacht Aegir for sale.
Built by Carbon Ocean Yachts to RINA class in 2010, she's proved her mettle in several offshore races this season. Using the latest construction techniques, the hull is built of pre-preg carbon fibre, giving enormous weight savings and blistering pace. With just a three- or four-day transformation, a soft, elegant and fast cruiser loses eight tons to become an ultra high-performance racer.
Accommodation is for six guests in a master suite, double stateroom and a twin cabin, while a 180hp Yanmar engine gives power for 10 to 12 knots. The saloon is spacious with an open plan layout, with the galley off to one side that leads to the crew cabin aft. The flexible interior offers future owners the ability to specify a bespoke arrangement to suit their individual aspirations.
Aegir is asking €6,590,000 VAT paid.
