Description

A classic yacht from one of the great designers, Carolina 1815 of Dundee is both beautiful on the eye and to sail. Powerful and sea kindly, she is a very comfortable yacht for coastal or blue water sailing. She has been under a continuous process of maintenance & improvement and is in very good condition. An elegant yacht that you will be proud to sail into any harbour.

With wide side decks and high bulwarks which make for a great feeling of safety moving forward, Carolina is a dry boat with a handsome sheer rising to the bow and tumblehome on the topsides.

For those interested in the numbers... the Comfort Ratio of 46.38 and Capsize Screening Formula of 1.52 are among the best of any boat. Still capable of a good turn of speed, she will sail on in style while modern boats are heading for the marina.

Offered at a modest price for a yacht of this pedigree.
