Price:
£2,500
Summary:
Used 1970
Location:
Plymouth, Devon
Description:

Remarks : The Bianca 27 class was designed by naval architect Svend Christensen in Denmark in the mid-1960s and was the first class of Danish GRP yacht built by the yard in Langeland, Denmark.A total of over 600 boats were built, and the design is now considered a ‘Classic.’The yacht is long-keeled with a masthead sloop rig and furling headsail. With a ballast ratio of 44, the design translates into a stiff, sea-kindly boat, of which there are many examples of ocean passage making. This particular Bianca 27 has had a major refit over the past five years. Unfortunately, the vendor has lost motivation to complete the refit, but the majority of the work has been carried out and completed to a high standard. She awaits a keen sailor who understands this small ocean-going vessel's quality and is passionate about seeing this boat completed and back on the water, ready to sail for another 50 or more years. Accommodation : Internally, the main cabin and fore cabin hull have been insulated with 5mm closed cell neoprene, as has the fore cabin ceiling. The entire internal roof has been stripped and clear-epoxied.The fore cabin has been lined, both hull and roof, with vinyl. 2 Bulkhead mounted Cup / can holders have been made, one incorporating the light switch and having a mobile phone holder.
