1983 Amel SHARKI, EUR 69,000

AMEL SHARKI 39 "HANABI" - THE BLUEWATER KETCH BUILT BY AMEL

Launched by the Amel yard in 1983, the Sharki reflects the La Rochelle philosophy: a yacht designed for the open sea, able to take a small crew far and for a long time, safely. Sailing as HANABI, this 11.95 m example is French flagged and will appeal to those looking for a solid, seakindly boat easily handled as a couple.

Built for offshore work
Polyester hull and deck, 11.95 m overall with a 3.60 m beam and a moderate 1.63 m draft: balanced proportions suited to long passages as much as to shallower anchorages. The 15 m air draft serves a ketch rig, a sail plan that makes reefing straightforward and keeps the helm light in a breeze, a hallmark of Amels of this generation.

Power and life aboard
Propulsion comes from a SOLE diesel on shaft drive with 1,500 hours. She cruises at 6 knots for 2.5 l/h and tops out at 9 knots. With 340 litres of fuel and 750 litres of water, range matches the programme. Below, 2 cabins and 7 berths accommodate up to 8 people on board.
