PRETEXTE
HENRI WAUQUIEZ GLADIATEUR 33
The Gladiateur is a well designed and strongly built yacht from the yard of Henri Wauquiez. This particular example PRETEXTE has had an extensive refit during late 2025 and early 2026 which includes new upholstery and she in outstanding condition for her age. Prior to her recent cosmetic refit the previous owner installed a new engine, standing rigging, sails, an efficient fridge and a new toilet. This was all done over the last five years and had almost no use at all, the engine for example has less than 100 hours logged and the sails are as new. Pretexte has a very extensive inventory and is ready to step aboard and go cruising.
