Description
Remarks :
The 1996 Sunbeam 44, built by Schöchl Yachtbau and certified by Germanischer Lloyd, is a robust ocean-going cruising yacht featuring a safe and comfortable centre cockpit layout. Prior to the current owner's purchase, the yacht underwent a comprehensive pre-purchase survey covering the hull and deck, and a professional rigging survey reportis also available. Throughout her ownership, the yacht has been meticulously maintained and significantly upgraded. In 2023, the mast was unstepped for inspection, with all standing rigging wires and terminals replaced where necessary. During the same year, the freshwater tanks and battery bank were renewed. In 2026, new solar panels were installed, and a substantial part of the navigation electronics was upgraded. Professionally maintained on a regular basis, this Sunbeam 44 is presented in excellent condition and is ready to sail without requiring any significant additional investment from her next owner.
