KAVENGA is an extraordinary and powerful sailing yacht built to the highest standards by Sweden Yachts, she is part of an exclusive sisterhood. She has a manageable ketch rig and useful pilothouse for blue water cruising. She has been skipper maintained from the beginning and is only now available for sale as her owner has bought larger.

 Her interior is executed in warm mahogany with many charming details in joinery and design as a result of her bespoke build.

 She has been skipper maintained throughout her lifetime and enjoyed a substantial refit in 2003 including a full refit of the hydraulics and all other systems.

 In the interim, the yacht has been consistently maintained and updated to ensure that she remains in fully functional condition at all times.

 In 2014 KAVENGA was hauled and had a full survey carried out during her normal Spring maintenance.  A copy of this survey is available on request.  Any essential requirements from the survey have now been addressed and the yacht is offered for sale in fully commissioned state.

In the starboard aft corner of the saloon is a custom-made bar which contains a stainless steel sink, bottle disposal slot in worktop and drinks refrigerator outboard.  There is also a combined icemaker and refrigerator on the door of which is mounted the optics.  Just ahead are drawers for glasses stowage and a clothes washing machine is directly beneath the optics.  Aft of the bar is the navigation station, still with good headroom.

The galley is off the port side of the saloon within a recess between two end pedestals which gives the crew a good working area.   This contains at its forward end a refrigerator, microwave, cooker hood, and a stainless steel Alpes cooker in gimbals. Beneath the forward pedestal is a freezer which is top loading and underneath the inboard pedestal is a trash compactor.  At the aft end of the galley are numerous drawers, a cupboard and a further refrigerator with deep freeze beneath it.  Adjacent to the galley is the entry to the engine room.

Aft of both the galley and the navigation station are doors to the two guest cabins with their en suite head compartments.  The cabins share a centreline shower stall which is accessed from either side.  Each cabin has a large V-berth double berth, a dressing table, cupboard and lockers.
