Bianca Yachts 27 (1970) for sale in Plymouth, United Kingdom

English

Remarks :

The Bianca 27 class was designed by naval architect Svend Christensen in Denmark in the mid-1960s and was the first class of Danish GRP yacht built by the yard in Langeland, Denmark.
A total of over 600 boats were built, and the design is now considered a ‘Classic.’
The yacht is long-keeled with a masthead sloop rig and furling headsail.
With a ballast ratio of 44, the design translates into a stiff, sea-kindly boat, of which there are many examples of ocean passage making. 
This particular Bianca 27 has had a major refit over the past five years. Unfortunately, the vendor has lost motivation to complete the refit, but the majority of the work has been carried out and completed to a high standard. 
She awaits a keen sailor who understands this small ocean-going vessel's quality and is passionate about seeing this boat completed and back on the water, ready to sail for another 50 or more years.
