SPIRIT YACHTS Spirit 76 Zu verkaufen (2008) in Palma, Balearic Islands, Spanien

Captivatingly pretty Spirit 76, proven both as a comfortable family cruising yacht and a formidable competitor on the Mediterranean regatta circuit. She underwent a major nautical makeover at her build yard in 2022, including a new main engine, lithium-ion batteries, a full rig review, new sails, an improved layout, and much more. She offers three cabins plus separate crew accommodation, an atmospheric main saloon, and an epic deck layout. Of course, she is also exceptionally easy on the eye.

Construction

Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:

• Mahogany rings frames, with Cedar planking. The Cedar planking is overlaid with two layers of veneers laid at 45 degrees to the planking and epoxy bonded. The hog, keel, stern post, and horn timber are all constructed from solid or straight grain wood. The beam shelf is fabricated in laminated wood.
• Hull is sheathed with E-Glass and epoxy before finishing with an Awlgrip paint system in Whisper Grey.
• All floors, engine beds, keel and mast supports are fabricated in solid mahogany.
• Ring frames are fitted along the hull, fabricated from Mahogany, and 3 x stainless steel ring frames in the central load bearing area.
• The cap shrouds are supported by frames forming the primary chain plate mount and transmitting the loads to the hull and keel framing.
• The engine room bilge is self-contained, and any cabling, ducting and pipework are fitted with suitable glands that pass through the bulkheads as high up as possible.
• During the refit in 2020/2022 the sound deadening in the engineering space was upgraded and modifications were made to the aft section of the yacht to provide an enlarged double cabin for guests.
• The hull planking is sheathed with 2 layers of bi-radial glass/epoxy with a scrim above the waterline and then everything is faired with Awlgrip epoxy fillers and spray coated with two-pack Awlgrip paint.
• The hull is further stiffened as all the internal plywood furniture is bonded to the hull to form a monocoque structure.
• The cockpit is constructed in solid Mahogany on a marine ply substructure with teak inlaid seating. It is self-draining and there are smaller drains at the most outboard parts of the cockpit for effective heeled draining.
• The coach roof is constructed of bright finished Mahogany over a laminar substructure. There are flush fitting opening skylights on the centreline.
• Deck is laid in teak throughout.
