Broker's Comments

This Rorqual 44 comes to us with a beautifully presented interior. I must admit I hadn't actually heard of one of these but seen similar ketches. Upon a little more research I can tell you she was built by the French shipyard Nautic Saintonge for long crossings. She has good sea-keeping qualities and the ketch rig allows you to set a sail plan for all conditions. The deck is nice and clutter free with a center cockpit.
She offers great space down below whether sailing with guests or living aboard too! She has a cosy aft cabin with heads moving through to a raised saloon providing a lovely area to relax with great visibility of outside creating a light airey feeling inside. Her galley is neatly tucked to the starboard side as you come down the companionway. Further forward we come across a nice sized forward cabin and another heads with basin. The headroom on this board is also excellent.
Take a look at the videos of her recently out for a weekend sail.
