It is a rare opportunity to acquire a Cookson 50 in impeccable condition. This ocean racing yacht stands as an icon in its category, with a design that has left its mark on the world's most prestigious trophies, a legacy that is bound to endure. This Cookson 50 has undergone an extensive two-year program of maintenance and upgrades.
She features an exellent wardrobe, an upgraded canting angle, and bulletproof hydraulics.
In 2023, the yacht underwent a comprehensive refit, touching every aspect of its structure. From a complete repaint to the installation of new electrical systems, electronics, hydraulic systems, engine, and more.
Design Specification:Designed by Farr Yacht Design, the Cookson 50 is a production boat made by Cookson yard.
In respect to standard boat the interior has been modified to allow a better sailing handling by cutting away the original kitchen positioned in the center of the boat and replaced by a smaller one on the side. In addition, two hatches closure have been built to separate the lazarette from the living area for safety reason in case of failure of the rudder.
