Discover this Colin Archer Ketch, an iconic sailboat renowned for its exceptional seaworthiness. This long keel model, rigged as a ketch, is offered as a complete restoration project, ideal for enthusiasts looking to customize their boat before putting it back into service. The seller does not guarantee any functionality or ownership at this stage.
This sailboat is exclusively available through Michael Schmidt & Partner, your central agent for this type of vessel. We have personally inspected this boat and are available to answer any detailed questions you may have.
On the electronics side, the boat is equipped with a Pilot Classic fishfinder, an older portable GPS, and an Autohelm 2000 autopilot, providing the necessary foundations for navigation. On deck, you will find an assortment of anchors including three anchors (20 kg, 30 kg, plus a 15 kg Klippanker anchor with 90 meters of chain), a pressurized cold water system, two batteries, complete courtesy lighting (red and green lights, white headlight, and oil-powered anchor light), a clinker-built wooden dinghy, a horn, and two winches to assist with maneuvers.
For comfort on board, this ketch is fitted with a two-burner Origo alcohol stove from 2007. The upholstery and coverings include a cockpit cover and tarpaulins from 2009, as well as two tarpaulins for the masts from 2008. Additionally, connections are planned for the future installation of a toilet.
A superb sailboat to restore, offering great potential for traditional sailing enthusiasts. Feel free to contact us to learn more about this unique project.
