This is a proper sailing yacht from another era in yachting, yet with many updates and upgrades, it looks and feels like a much newer vessel. It is sleek, beautiful, and a performer.


It boasts one of the best pedigrees known to yachting, built by the centuries old, world renowned, Camper and Nicholsons.


This is a three owner vessel and has been generously cared for by the second owner since 1991. Extensively and professionally re-fit from top to bottom, inside and out in 1999, the boat embarked on a 10 year round the world voyage in 2000 during which additional work was completed including a fabulous redesign of the aft stateroom and head remodels. The 3rd owner purchased in 2020 and has continued updating/maintaining, including, but not limited to, new: standing rigging, radar, canvas enclosure, dingy, outboard and more!


This boat shows better than many boats a fraction of its age. While the hull, and some fixed interior pieces are 1974, there is little on the boat that predates 1999 with subsequent upgrades following.


This is an exceptional value for a buyer seeking a sleek true blue water European sailing vessel.



Veteran Yacht Sales is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by United Yacht Sales. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is not intended to convey direct representation of a particular vessel

Vessel Walkthrough

As you descend the forward companionway steps from the large hard top enclosed center cockpit there is an immediate sense that this is a true quality yacht interior. From the stately high gloss beautiful joinery wood finishes to the generous light streaming through the port lights (windows) and large overhead hatch, all translate to a feeling of quality, strength, and high pedigree. To starboard of the companionway is the well-appointed galley with ample countertop space, many drawers and Storage cabinets, large top loading and front-loading refrigeration box, a massive three compartment heavily insulated front loading freezer, 2 burner stove, a round stainless steel sink, and well thought out touches, like: a pull-out cutting board to yield a workable space, heavy duty strap in points, beautiful teak and holly sole, all seems functional and straight forward. Port of the galley and aft of the salon is the rear facing navigation station with large desk area, A/C D/C electrical panels, electronics, chart stowage, and storage under the seat. Custom storage areas added above the nav table look factory and are very handy. Forward of the nav station and to port of the galley is the main salon. There is seating for 6 at the salon's U-Shaped settee with a large high low table in the center that is sure to be the venue for many wonderful meals and an equal amount of memorable conversations. The storage below behind and above the settees lets you bring along everything you need and even a little you don't. Enjoy a proper meal with friends on the large dining table, or keep it all to yourself for a romantic dinner for two. Recline and relax with your favorite book and let the afternoon slip away when in-climate weather requires. Forward of the salon is the wet head (meaning no separate shower) featuring a large vanity, custom sink, storage cabinets, and easy to clean fiberglass walls. The head was completely resurfaced and updated in 2005. Forward of the head is the private forward stateroom featuring a large 6'+ V-berth with: hanging locker, shelving, with great lighting and ventilation from an opening overhead hatch. Returning aft, there is a passageway/ captain’s berth area that runs down the starboard side of the cockpit aft of the galley. The head clearance is low but the passageway/cabin is spacious featuring a captain’s berth, with storage above and below, and two large removable doors providing easy access to the engine/systems compartment. Moving aft through the passageway or coming down the steps from the cockpit (this is a walk over and walk through designed vessel) you enter the aft master stateroom featuring a large queen berth (step up into) multiple drawers, shelves, 2 large hanging lockers, a large comfortable reading chair. There is great ventilation through the companionway doors and an overhead hatch. The aft stateroom was completely reconfigured in 2005 yielding a more functional master berth. The work was beautifully done and looks like it was originally designed this way. Forward in the Master Stateroom is the on-suite wet head (no separate shower) featuring a large vanity, custom sink, storage cabinets, and easy to clean fiberglass walls. The head was completely resurfaced and updated in 2005. On Deck: No teak decks! The deck layout is functional and easy to traverse, making moving about under sail or at anchor safe and easy. Anchoring is made simple with a large windlass and ground tackle package. At the dock, under sail, or at anchor, this vessels topsides have all you need to enjoy every moment.
