Soverel Ketch
Soverel 48 is a top quality 70s American design. She combines a great potential of speed with a well worked out interior and a big aft cabin with en-suite bathroom. She arrived Portugal after a successful and fast Transatlantic crossing. The present owner has this yacht since 1979 and sailed her with a lot of pleasure but now the time is there to say goodbye. She is registered in Florida. The price has recently been substantially lowered. So if you are looking for a big circum-navigator for a very sharp price, this is your chance. The boat is in need of some maintenance.
