Yacht Rabelais

Cheoy Lee 47 feet

Description

RABELAIS is a strong fast cruising yacht, designed under CCA racing rules and with the classic line of a truly beautiful yacht.
In 1993 the interior of RABELAIS was removed from her racing version and rebuilt to accommodate a safe and stable cruising yacht. The inclusion of a larger 85hp Perkins engine, 2800 watt 110v inverter, larger tankage and good range cruising gear made her ideal for serious blue water sailing.
RABELAIS has recently completed a comfortable five year, 30,000 mile circumnavigation with a husband and wife crew and school-aged son. Set up for short-handed sailing, average daily runs of 150-180 Nm in trade wind conditions were common. Her relatively deep draft and fine underwater profile worked well and produced very comfortable passages to windward.
We have found RABELAIS to be a safe, comfortable classical cruising yacht with a good turn of speed and most importantly, easy and fun to sail.
Recent refit work has seen her almost ready to head off around the world again with only very little,  work for her next owner to do.
