4 Classic Boats for Sale
Magic – Comar Comet 11 (10.80 m)
In 1977
Comar
relied on the iconoclastic hand of Jean Marie Finot to design a new cruiser. One opts for the realization of something unprecedented, never seen before. Comet 11, a boat designed exclusively for cruising, 10.80 meters overall intended for ‘real’ sailing, is born. It will be sold in 187 units, splitting the audience in two: purists reject it, but many others instead appreciate its novel lines, important choices. It is a cornerstone of world sailing design, an undoubtedly iconic landmark.
You can find a 1979 example of this for sale on our flea market, a version with a central master cabin and particularly large living room. Are you interested? See the Comet 11 ad here.
Classic Boats. Dufour Sortilege (12.50 m)
Michel Dufour was an almost unique character in the sailing world. From a railroad engineer he was able to transform himself into a visionary designer, launching his own specific way to sailing, his deep passion. Among the ingenious boats he was able to design, undoubtedly we find the Sortilege, a 41-footer entirely devoted to cruising, safe, comfortable, and, above all, fine sailing-a true boat for sailing.
Armed as a ketch, produced in 150 examples starting in 1971, the Sortilege was a highly successful boat, a 12.50-meter well-dwelling, seaworthy and fun boat. Two cockpits with two respective accesses to the below deck, where as many as8 bunks are located, find space on board. The wheelhouse finds its place in the central, larger, more protected cockpit.
For those interested, find one for sale on our flea market, launched in 1974.
Here is the ad.
Windcatcher – X-Yachts X-452 (13.92 m)
The formula by which, in 1987,
X-Yachts
set out to design its X-452 was simple: make a boat that was faster than those in the competition, that also looked better and was more comfortable than the others. The recipe works and, in the X-Yachts tradition, the X-452 succeeds in this endeavor, proving to be a gritty, livable and particularly enjoyable boat.
Built in 20 examples starting in 1987, this little Niels Jeppesen masterpiece measures 13.92 meters overall (LOA) and 4.52 m at maximum beam, with two versions available: one 3-cabin and one 4-cabin, for 6 or 8 berths respectively, excluding saloon.
On our marketplace, you can find one from 1991 for sale. Are you interested? Announcement here.
Classic Boats. Magic Twelve – IOR 40′ – Beneteau First Class 12 (11.99 m)
