FOR SALE: CARAMBOLA – Harlé Design / Grand Mottois Shipyard (11.45m, Aluminum, Integral Keel)

A rare opportunity for travel enthusiasts and character sailboats lovers! Discover Carambola, a stunning 11.45-meter aluminum cruising sailboat. Coming from a prestigious lineage, this seasoned sailor is the spiritual equivalent of the legendary Maracuja, in a more compact and versatile size.

A prestigious lineage: The "Maracuja" spirit

The "little brother" of a legend: For connoisseurs, the Maracuja is the absolute reference in aluminum cruising sailboats. Carambola adopts its philosophy: an easy-going hull, a spacious interior, excellent livability onboard, and unmatched durability... all condensed into one vessel.

Architecture by Harlé: A legendary signature, guaranteeing a seafaring boat, balanced at sea and gentle at the helm, designed to handle offshore navigation with confidence.

Grand Mottois Shipyard: A renowned builder known for its high-quality aluminum metalwork and the robustness of its craftsmanship. A sound structure built to last.

The advantages of Carambola (Long-distance Aluminum)

Safety and Absolute Strength: The aluminum hull provides unique resistance against shocks (coral, wood splinters, collision impacts). Where polyester might crack, aluminum deforms but maintains watertightness. It is the material of absolute serenity for long voyages.

No Osmosis & Longevity: No aging of the structure related to humidity. Aluminum retains excellent resale value and requires no heavy structural maintenance.

The Ideal Size (11m): Lighter and more maneuverable than a traditional Maracuja, easy to handle with a small crew or solo, while significantly reducing mooring costs.

Program: Offshore cruising, year-round living aboard, long-distance voyages.

Finding an aluminum Harlé plan from the Grand Mottois Shipyard on the market is already rare. But a model offering the volumes and travel philosophy of a Maracuja in an 11-meter format is truly a gem.
