Carmen Serida – 22.97 m – Ketch Sciarrelli
The first of the used boats on display in our yard sale is a true signature boat. Launched in 1986 under the name Serida II, Carmen Serida (21.97 m x 5.20 m) is a splendid ketch built by the shipwrights of Cantiere Navale Carlini to a design by Carlo Sciarrelli (Project 104). This boat combines the charm of classic lines with the comfort of extraordinary interior volumes for a boat of her era, making her a perfect balance between elegance and habitability.
Carmen Serida is part of the so-called “Master’s strip,” the list in which Sciarrelli noted all his creations, marking with one or more asterisks those that were the most successful (Serida has 1). Among the boats mentioned in the list are true masterpieces of classic sailing such as Chaplin, Chica Boba II, Freya, Angelica II and Clan.
Notable features include a ketch rig, a space arrangement with four cabins and four bathrooms, as well as accessories that improve maneuverability and comfort on board, such as bowthruster, hydraulic furlers, generator, and watermaker.
Swan 53 – 16.48 m – A boat for long sailings
The second boat featured in our market is an authentic Swan hull, a model with a prestigious pedigree signed Germán Frers. We’re talking about Ballytrim, a Swan 53 (16.48 m x 4.75 m) designed to take on long sailings in safety, perfect for both cruising and racing. Recently undergoing a major refit, she boasts a new teak deck (2022), bow thruster, engine, rigging and updated instrumentation, as well as an extensive set of sails and dedicated equipment.
Her water lines reveal an uncompromising marine vocation: a sharp bow for excellent upwind performance, a wide stern for great stability at carrying gaits, and, in some configurations, a bayonet daggerboard and twin rudder blades to navigate even in shallow water. Inside, Nautor’s Swan’s large volumes and unmistakable finishes complete a boat perfect for those seeking performance, safety and style.
Southern Wind 72 – 21.89 m
Same era as the Swan but growing in size. This Southern Wind 72 (21, 89 m x 5.75 m) is a blue-water yacht of rare elegance and extraordinary performance, designed by Bruce Farr and built by the masters of the South African shipyard Southern Wind. Rugged, fast and seaworthy in all conditions, she represents the perfect balance of reliability and comfort.
Her classic lines and timeless deckhouse and deck design enhance the appeal of modern yachting, while the fine teak interior offers a warm and refined atmosphere. The layout of spaces includes an aft master cabin, a center VIP cabin and two double cabins, all with private bathrooms, ensuring exclusive hospitality.
Designed for safe and comfortable cruising, she is equipped with a bow thruster, electric winches, air conditioning, desalinizer and generator, as well as a large central cockpit that separates the maneuvering area from the guest relaxation area. A unique opportunity for those looking for a high-performance, stylish and fully equipped yacht.
Advanced 66 – 20.46 m – Fast, luxurious and comfortable
Modern lines and Italian soul for this Advanced 66 (20.46 m x 5.40), a yacht that combines luxury and performance, offering an uncompromising sailing experience. Its sleek lines and large glass surfaces in the deckhouse ensure a constant connection with the sea, making it perfect for any season.
The generously sized cockpit invites relaxation while cruising, while the interior, featuring a large central open space with 360° panoramic views, combines sophistication and functionality. Every detail has been carefully designed, using fine materials and craftsmanship of the highest quality.
In excellent condition and available for immediate sale, the A66 represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a yacht with exclusive appeal, capable of offering absolute comfort and top performance.
Volvo Ocean 65 – 22.14 m
We close with the last of the dream boats featured on our classifieds market. This is a truly unique boat for those who dream of high performance. This Volvo Ocean 65 (22.14 m x 5.60 m) is an ocean racing boat designed to tackle the most extreme conditions with speed, safety and reliability. Created as the successor to the Volvo Open 70, this high-performance one-design was developed by Farr Yacht Design to ensure more accessible and safe competition in the Volvo Ocean Race.
Used in the 2014-2015, 2017-2018, and 2023 editions, the VO65 has transformed ocean racing into a one-design event, reducing participation costs and leveling performance among crews. Built to withstand the most challenging conditions, it combines a sturdy structure with an aerodynamic design that maximizes speed and stability in open water.
A true ocean thoroughbred, the Volvo Ocean 65 represents the perfect balance of technology, safety and adrenaline, offering an uncompromising racing experience to the world’s most competitive teams.
