Magnificent Chatam 52 Ketch - One-Off Owner’s Yacht
This superb 1997 Chatam 52 Ketch is a unique, owner-operated yacht built as a one-off on a high-quality polyester sandwich hull (30 mm fiberglass/epoxy over Airex foam core), combining outstanding strength, performance and insulation.
Meticulously maintained by her owner, she is Category A (Ocean) certified and fully equipped for long-distance offshore cruising.
Thanks to her hydraulically lifting ballasted centerboard, she combines the performance of a true blue-water cruiser with a shallow draft, allowing access to secluded anchorages inaccessible to many yachts of her size.
Designed to be easily handled by a short-handed crew or even single-handed, she features electric sail controls operated directly from the cockpit, providing exceptional comfort and safety underway.
The yacht is offered with: Recent full marine survey, Standing rigging inspection report, French VAT paid
