The Sagitta 35 is a true classic, designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens and built to the highest standards by Bianca Yachts. With her elegant lines, solid construction, and proven offshore capability, she has been meticulously maintained and upgraded to ensure reliability and performance. Designed for long-distance sailing, this vessel is well-equipped and ready to take on her next adventure, offering a perfect balance of comfort and seaworthiness for an experienced sailor or a couple looking to explore the world’s blue waters.
Her strong GRP hull has undergone extensive reinforcement, including hybrid composite stiffeners and a full copper-epoxy treatment, ensuring durability and protection. A deep fin keel provides excellent upwind performance, while her well-balanced tiller steering offers precise control. Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta 2030 diesel engine, regularly serviced and capable of covering 160 nautical miles per day, she is as practical as she is beautiful. The recent standing rigging replacement (2023), new 105% Genoa (2024), and a suite of additional sails, including a spinnaker and storm jib, ensure she is ready for any sailing conditions.
On deck, she boasts Andersen and Lewmar winches, a spacious cockpit with a 2022 sprayhood and 2023 bimini, and a well-organized layout for ease of handling. Below deck, her teak interior provides a warm and inviting living space with accommodations for six, a practical galley, and ample storage. Fully equipped with modern navigation equipment, solar power, and a Mastervolt battery system, she is self-sufficient for extended cruising. This stunning yacht represents a rare opportunity to own a well-cared-for, classic S&S design, perfect for sailors looking for a capable and characterful bluewater cruiser.
