German Frers 45 (łódź żaglowa) - sprzedaż

Boat Overview"Echo Zulu" is a GRP constructed Frers 45 built by Carroll Marine in the USA and designed by the legendary German Frers. This is a rare opportunity to buy a pedigree sailing yacht. It has been prepared to race solo around the world as part of the Global Solo Challenge and would suit a competitor of either that race or the World Star. Alternatively, a Fastnet Campaign awaits. She has all the kit and benefits from a lot of recent upgrades.
This is a lot of boat for the money and with not much more additional work will be ready to take you around the World or to the Fastnet Rock and back and to live that dream with much of the required work already invested in.
Please note that, for certification reasons, the yacht is solely intended for Racing NOT CruIsing.
