A new central agency has been announced on the 42.8-metre classic sailing yacht Asgard, now listed for sale with Jack Gradus and Jeremy Comport of Ocean Independence.
Asgard was built in cold-moulded mahogany by Abeking & Rasmussen to a custom design by Bruce King, with a Winch Design interior, and delivered in 1993 as a classic-style ketch.
She has had two notable refits, one in 2014 and another in 2020, the former of which focused on refreshing the yacht's aesthetic appeal with a new teak deck and a new interior by Rhoades Young. The 2020 refit focused on a complete mechanical and technical overhaul, from the thrusters to the main engine.
Designed for world voyaging as far as Alaska, the South Pacific and New Zealand, her interior has a classically nautical and warm theme, pairing mahogany wood detailing with white-washed panelling. At the heart of the yacht is a split-level main saloon with two areas separated by a mahogany balustrade and staircase.
Accommodation is for eight guests in four cabins, comprising a full-beam master cabin, two double cabins and a twin cabin, all with en suites.
She has often been spotted on the race course with notable wins at the Superyacht Cup Palma and the Spirit of Tradition Class of the Rolex Maxi Worlds.
Under power, a single MTU diesel engine gives the 152GT sailing yacht for sale a range of 2,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum speed of 12 knots. A draught of 3.2 metres allows extensive cruising capabilities.
Currently lying in Vilanova, Spain, Asgard is asking €7,650,000.
