If you're looking to up your racing game and join the superstars leading the fleet at some of the world's most prestigious regattas, you're going to need a boat with racing pedigree. BOAT rounds up ten of the finest sailing yachts currently available for sale with proven regatta-winning history...
Maximus
Length: 59m
Builder: Vitters
Vitters built Maximus for an owner based on a brief that resulted in a yacht that could be both cruised and raced, focusing on “performance, comfort and precision.” The 59-metre full displacement cruising ketch made her racing debut at the 2024 St Barths Bucket. Optimised for regatta events, Maximus was designed by German Frers and features a lifting keel and twin rudders. As the third largest sailing yacht built by the shipyard, the broker describes her as the perfect “bucket boat", while her racing red, eye-catching hull – visible above the waterline – adds to her regatta status. Inside, 10 guests (accommodated in four cabins) can enjoy warm interiors designed by Spencer-Churchill.
Maximus is asking €79,500,000 with Edmiston.
Ngoni
Length: 58.2m
Builder: Royal Huisman
The 58.2-metre Royal Huisman sloop Ngoni was delivered in 2017 and dubbed the “Beast” by her owner, who requested “fast and furious” attributes from the late Ed Dubois. Racing features of the aluminium yacht include the 71-metre carbon sloop rig – one of the three largest one-piece spars built by Rondal – complemented by a North Sails square-top mainsail and a custom boom with a nearly 4-metre aft extension. The uncluttered exterior adds to the sailing yacht’s aerodynamic efficiency, while the owner, passionate about helming, also ensured her steering is light, firm and responsive. In 2024, Ngoni underwent a refit, including the addition of a twin cabin, increasing the total accommodation capacity to eight.
Ngoni is asking €38,500,00 with Carrswood Yachts.
Asahi
Length: 56m
Builder: Perini Navi
The 56-metre Asahi is a serious contender on any regatta circuit. Winner of Best Sailing Yacht at the World Superyacht Awards, the Perini Navi was launched in 2009, with a comprehensive refit carried out in 2023 to maintain her excellent charter reputation and performance. Built in aluminium with carbon fibre components, an automatic furling boom and over 1,500 square metres of sail area – of which, in 2022, a complete new suite of Doyle sails was replaced - Asahi is built for racing. Reaching speeds of up to 15.5 knots, she is impressively responsive for her size. Remi Tessier’s minimalist, sleek interiors accommodate 12 guests across six cabins, providing comfortable, calm spaces after a high-energy day of racing. Combining her charter record and global capability, this regatta-ready sailing yacht for sale offers both pedigree and performance.
Asahi is asking €30,900,000, ex. VAT with Edmiston.
Marie
Length: 55m
Builder: Vitters
Launched in 2010, the 54.6-metre Vitters sailing yacht Marie has proven herself in competitive racing, with multiple victories, including the 2014 St. Barts Bucket and the Superyacht Cup in Palma. Penned by Hoek Naval Architects with interiors by David Easton, Marie features a ketch rig and aluminium construction for handling and speed under sail. Her centre cockpit acts as a social hub, while multiple outdoor seating areas provide views during exciting races. Freshly refitted in summer 2025 (which included her five-year class survey), Marie showcases her elegant and classic personality inside and out. Alongside the regatta credentials, she has a full-width, split-level main saloon complete with a baby grand piano as well as a split-level owner’s cabin with a private deckhouse.

Ranger
Length: 42m
Builder: Danish Yachts
The 42-metre Ranger, built by Danish Yachts in 2003, is one of the most formidable contenders in the J Class fleet – a modern revival of the original 1937 America’s Cup winner. A comprehensive $6 million refit at Vitters in 2020 brought a full deck and layout redesign, major systems upgrade and performance optimisation, ensuring she remains at the sharp end of the regatta circuit. Sporting the largest volume in the J Class, Ranger is equipped with a high-modulus carbon rig and modern race technology for competitions. Previous regatta results include securing the overall J Class Trophy in 2023 as well as successful performances at Les Voiles de St Tropez and St Barths Bucket. In between exhilarating racing, the Art Deco interiors by Glade Johnson provide a comfortable sanctuary for the 10 guests.
Ranger is asking $6,900,000 with Fraser.
Bliss
Length: 37m
Builder: Yachting Developments
Built in New Zealand by Yachting Developments, the YD 120, 37-metre Bliss is the largest composite Dubois-designed yacht to be delivered to date and was born as a high-performance world cruiser. She has been maintained under the same ownership since launch and was freshly refitted in May 2024 following a €2 million investment. Bliss is a well-known competitor and is suited to international events, with a successful track record at regattas such as Ibiza JoySail Regatta where she won the World Cruising XL class in 2024. Racing features include a composite hull with carbon fibre Hall Spars, Reckman furlers, and Harken winches. She can accommodate an owner’s party of between six and eight across three cabins.

The carbon racing ketch underwent various refits in 2022 and 2023, including the installation of a new Yanmar engine, new Hall Spars carbon rigging, and a fresh set of North Sails 3Di sails.

In addition to the keel, she showcases a custom carbon Hall Spars mast, Park Avenue boom, rod rigging, Harken winches and North 3Di sails. Various upgrades have kept La Joie de Mer in check, including a five-year rig survey in 2023 and a repaint of her superstructure in 2022.

Delivered in 1908, Mariska was born as a high-performance J Class racing yacht, penned by the renowned William Fife Jr. with fine lines, a narrow beam, a deep keel and sweeping overhangs. She has emerged a champion more times than not over her 117-year lifespan, with wins dating back to the 1911 Cowes Regatta as well as top honours in 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2016 and taking home the trophy at the 2019 Monaco Classic Week. She has been rebuilt twice since her original launch, including a complete restoration from 2007 to 2009 and a major refit in 2021, making her "not only beautiful but also fully equipped for both racing and leisure cruising", according to her broker. Mariska can accommodate six guests in three cabins.

Momi
Length: 24m
Builder: Vismara Marine
If her high-tech carbon composite hull, telescopic lifting keel and twin rudders don't showcase Momi's fast-cruising racing ability enough, there isn't much more that would. A confident bluewater sailing yacht, she has a performance profile that shines on the regatta circuit. Aesthetically, her sleek "Caribbean blue" hull, low profile, and flush deck mark her out, while a functionally designed deck layout separates guest relaxation from the working cockpit. Inside, Momi is unusually refined for a regatta-ready yacht, with natural light, neutral fabrics and warm-toned wood creating a calm and contemporary atmosphere. Accommodation is in three cabins, plus two additional racing berths. VAT-paid and in excellent condition, she is offered for sale by her original owner.
