Built by Oyster yachts and delivered in 2007, the 24.97m RAVENCLAW sailing yacht is an exquisite blend of form and function, commissioned by a seasoned yachtsman. His vision was to create a vessel for his family that was safe and comfortable with a shallow draft keel to allow for exploring the Chesapeake Bay and islands while still performing as a worthy competitor in Oyster Regattas. Her 295 Hp Caterpillar engine was rebuilt in 2022 and when under power, she can reach a maximum speed of 10 knots.
Her exterior, designed by Humphreys Yacht Design, showcases a timeless vessel that commands attention at sea with her classic shape and form. She is constructed with a GRP hull and features teak decking across her exterior.
The spacious cockpit offers a stunning setting to host a guests for both après-sail cocktails and spontaneous alfresco dining on a moonlit evening. A custom hard frame bimini was installed to better protect guests from the elements and improve all-around visibility from the helm and seating area.
Steps at her stern lead to a swimming platform, providing direct access to the water and serving as a launch pad for her toys and tenders.
Her upper salon and nav area offer expansive views through the deck saloon windows and features a four-sided wraparound settee surrounding a rectangular, expandable table of Birdseye Maple. The equally inviting lower saloon serves as a breakfast nook, reading and lounge area, complete with an L-shaped settee.
Onboard there is accommodation for up to six guests across three cabins, all with ensuites. The Owner’s cabin features a double bed, complete with a settee, dressing table, and abundant drawer and locker space. Stainless steel steps with wooden treads lead to the private companionway, providing access to the aft deck through a sliding hatch. The remaining guest accommodation consist of two twin beds, both with Pullman berths.
