2005 73.7 foot Yapluka 72 USD 2600000

This 2005 Yapluka 70 is a serious, French-built aluminum sailing catamaran designed and proven for true offshore passage-making. With multiple transatlantic and transpacific crossings, repeated runs from New York to the Caribbean, seven Panama Canal transits, and voyages from the BVI to San Francisco already logged, she has demonstrated her capability to go anywhere in the world — safely and comfortably.

At 22.45m (73.6') LOA with an 11.37m beam, she offers the volume and stability catamaran explorers seek, paired with a carbon mast and boom that reduce weight aloft for a smoother, more comfortable motion at sea. Her aluminum hull, collision bulkheads, and simple, reliable Yanmar diesel engines mean she can be serviced virtually anywhere in the world without dependence on computer diagnostics — a major advantage for long-range voyaging. Custom high quality French joinery is in fantastic condition creating comfortable high quality accommodations to this very capable sailing vessel

The vessel has been continuously and professionally maintained, with engines and generators serviced to manufacturer specifications and systems properly pickled during layup periods. An extensive spare parts inventory — covering pumps, filters, alternators, windlass and starter motors, and A/C and watermaker components — is included, giving a new owner real peace of mind for extended cruising far from major service centers.

This boat was commissioned and the construction overseen by this owner and his professional crew. The current very experienced Capt and mate have been in charge on the vessel since the design stage and throughout the entire sailing life of the boat. This is a proven blue water passage-maker with the comfort and systems for luxury cruising, offered with low ongoing maintenance demands.
