A true world cruiser - ready to go! REDUCED PRICE FOR HEALTH REASON. TWO WORLD RECORD holder, versatile 53’ 11" (16.15m) U.S. sailing yacht SAGESSE is the world largest sailing yacht to have ever sailed from the Atlantic to the Mediterranée, across France, via the Canal du Midi, and from The Med to the North Sea and back across France, Belgium, Holland and into Germany. A mediatized world event. Important features: 1) Long straight keel for safety; permit beaching; for longitudinal tracking stability while cruising; cheaper hauling out by using fishermen's inclined ramp. 2) The flared bow greatly increases buoyancy to prevent "submarining". 3) Raked, rounded stern to resemble double-ender to let following seas pass easily under without "pushing" the vessel in a dangerous broach.
