Description
Handed over to her first and only owner in the summer of 2015, SAPPHIRE BLUE has only been used privately and always with a professional crew on board. Her maintenance regime has been pro-active and thorough, her owner is extremely experienced and has always been closely involved in the management and sailing of the yacht. She benefits from a very full inventory for comfort aboard including full air conditioning, upgraded generator, upgraded keel, high-capacity water-maker, under-water lights, recent canvass, Starlink and many other well-chosen extras. Her aesthetics are excellent - the hull was painted in Awlgrip Whisper Gray in 2020. Her mast, sails, boom and standing rigging were also new in 2020. The rig was NDT tested again in 2023. The decks have just been re-furbished, the yacht presents extremely well. We have known the boat since she was delivered new, she is a great example of this extremely popular yacht of just under 24 metres LOA – perfect for the Med and beyond.
