Frers 44 te koop (1981) in Dublin, Ierland

Remarks :
F & C 44 For Sale. "Tritsch Tratsch IV" was built by Cibils in Buenos Aires to a design by German Frers in 1981. The Frers & Cibilis 44 F&C 44 quickly established itself as a quality passage making cruising yacht. This is a fast sea kindly yacht with the benefit of a shallow keel with inner lifting keel allowing access to many calas and bays denied to vessels of similar size. A balance ketch rig the F&C44 is ideal for short handed long distance ocean passage making or distance racing. Quality hand build with sturdy hardware and magnificent internal joinery and carpentry. A GRP composite hull with teak decks and finishes that are most pleasing to the eye. GRP lay up a combination of 770 to 330grms roving 450 to 300 gms mat and 510 to 380 grms unidirection roving over Airex core. This yacht has been in continuous family ownership from original build over forty years with diligent servicing and drydocking as well as many renewals such as spar repaint four years ago and a complete deck and cockpit recalking in the autumn of 2024. "Tritsch Tratsch IV" is afloat at Howth some 20 minutes from Dublin Airport. EU VAT paid and on the Irish Ships Register.
