This 27m yacht is a superb modern classic with a gorgeous line. Build of rugged aluminum, huge attention has been paid to producing a light yacht with express sailing performance. Many years of sailing experience influenced the construction of this yacht. Her interior is ultra-modern and a pleasant contrast to her classic hull line.
Built in 2008, refitted in 2017, and in 2020, she had the same owner from design idea to sailing to the other side of the world in 2022. Taking very well care of by experienced crew. She’s been enjoyed for family holidays, entertaining with friends, as well as being chartered in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. For the last 18 months, her owner is fulfilling his lifelong dream to explore French Polynesia before looking for a new owner.
Vintage I can accommodate 6 guests in a master and 2 guest cabins with ensuite bathrooms. She has a great deck area which is classic in design yet functional for guests to enjoy days in the sun and evenings under the stars. There is a dining table on deck for alfresco dining under a bimini shade.
History Of Vintage 1
Vintage I is the result of a 5 year effort to create a ocean going sailing yacht that will stand the test of time, technical and aesthetically. The hull form is etched on the work of the unsurpassed yacht designer Nathan Herreshoff, designed by Strawinsky. It is our belief that a ship should be build to last a 100 years. Reason we choose not only a classic looking hull form, but also tried to use only materials and components that will last and are easy to service. The underwater body is up to date, with a high tech bulb keel, large balanced spade rudder and low whetted surface area.
All ship design was done in great detail by Mr. Julius Strawinsky of Gdansk, Poland. The building material, aluminium, was chosen for its seaworthiness and flexibility in one off construction. Electronics have been used only where necessary for safety or comfort. In our philosophy, A ship should be able to stay at sea, without any help from outside, for prolonged periods of time. She should be serviceable by a small on board crew. "Vintage I" was designed to be safely at sea in comfort and style during at least one month, with a full charter complement of 6 guests and 3 crew.
Her proud standing main "engine", which is the 33 m tall mast and boom, is build of carbon fibre. The standing rigging is discontinuous rod. The running rigging is spectra. The sails are high tech high modulus spectra/carbon. The on the wind surface area is 380 m² for a boat that weights 43 tons only. The ballast is 8 tons lead. This makes her fast and light footed.
Her deck hardware consist of 11 winches, whereof 5 electric push button winches. Propulsion diesel engine is a sturdy and reliable 230 Hp. A generator and a 130l/h water maker insure comfort and safety. The interior is light weight and a modern design. There are 3 guest cabins with ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen is large and fully equipped to make for quality cooking. There are separate crew quarters for 3.
