Arrábida is a wonderful two-mast one-off Pilothouse Schooner designed and built in the Netherlands. Arrábida is not just a bluewater cruiser with beautiful classic lines, teak laid decks, and an elegant green hull…. She is also, thanks to her strong aluminium hull, modern carbon rig and hydraulic systems, an excellent performer under sail. She is schooner rigged with a comprehensive sail wardrobe consisting of a fully battened main, staysail, spinnaker, topsail, a staysail on hydraulic furler from 2023, a Jib on hydraulic furler from 2023 and a Yankee on hydraulic furler from 2023. Further to that, hydraulic winches, carbon spi poles, hydraulic boomvang, and Frederiksen deck hardware. She is, furthermore, equipped with a 230hp Deutz diesel engine, hydraulic bow thruster, feathering propeller, generator, inverters, and a complete Raymarine navigation equipment from 2021. Additionally, a life raft, a tender with outboard from 2022, hydraulic windlass and numerous covers.
The interior of this Pilothouse Schooner is just as well laid out as the exterior. The pilothouse that can be accessed from port and starboard side of the deck, features two seats and a forward-facing navigation- and pilot station. A few steps down are the well-equipped galley to starboard and another navigation station to port side. Again a few steps down you’ll end up in the full beam saloon with a dining area to starboard side and a lounge area to port side with a large U-shaped wrap-around sofa. Arrábida comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests. The master cabin with ensuite facilities and the guest cabin with bunk beds are located forward. The two other guest cabins have their own separate access from the pilot house and share the second bathroom. The interior is fitted out with all comforts, like a Webasto central heating system, Taylors stove diesel heater in the saloon, electric toilets, and a washer/dryer. This modern classic has only had two owners and has undergone professional maintenance, updates, and upgrades to ensure safe and comfortable cruises.
A strong & reliable bluewater cruiser
