[Airliebeach]

Here is a rare opportunity to purchase a turnkey round the world luxury sailboat fully upgraded and optioned in immaculate condition and ready to go anywhere. Sarah was purchased by a wealthy and very particular Norwegian owner to take his family globally in comfort, safety and luxury She has recently completed an atlantic crossing and a season in the Caribbean but due to family circumstances is now offered for sale in Norfolk VA ,tax has been paid and Sarah is now a US citizen. The owner has invested over a million dollars to get her to this stage (receipts available) and she could literally be sailed anywhere in the world with a week's notice. This is the deep fin/bulb keel 9.5ft ocean version, very stable and comfortable at sea with minimal heeling, a real pleasure when passage making, there are four cabin's sleeping 8. The decks are solid teak and in excellent condition.
The boat is wired for 220v 50hz power currently, it's the best voltage for world cruising with the most availability, it is convertible to US 220v 60hz.
The power and charging system onboard is designed for self sufficiency, the boat has been in the US for 3 months now without been plugged into shorepower, with no AC the solar covers all the daily power use. There are 4 Dometic AC units onboard totaling 44000 BTU each servicing different areas, The AC is designed to run from the lithium batteries, a 10000 watt Fischer Panda Inverter generator (Kubota Diesel 1900 hrs) automatically starts when the batteries reach 40% charge, it takes about 3 hours to recharge to 100%. I usually do laundry, make water or run the dishwasher when the generator comes on. There is also a hugely efficient hydrogenerator that charges when sailing, in total there are 5 ways to charge the lithium batteries, solar panels, hydrogenerator, diesel generator, twin alternators on the main engine and shore power. There are two shore power inlets, one exclusively for the AC units.
