Description

Velacarina is the culmination of a passion for beauty and sailing. Her classic lines and modern systems make her the ultimate in comfortable cruising. She was launched in 2004 by the Dutch Claasen Shipyards and since then has circumnavigated the world over a 3 year period.

The yacht is elaborately equipped, including full carbon masts and booms, main and head sails on furling systems, hydraulic sail winches to be reached from the cockpit, halyards on captive winches, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, recessed dinghy garage on the foredeck, fold down transom with bathing platform and swimming ladder.

She can be easily sailed short-handed for long distance cruising, and is equally happy with full crew participating in Super Yacht regattas where she performs well having won the 2014

Pendennis Cup.
