Description
Sailing ship Faston is for sale! A sturdy ship, suitable for long sea voyages. Steel hull, 43 feet, Ketch rigged, built in 1978 to a design by Van de Stad,
A ship with history. From the logbook we know that the ship was used as a charter in the Mediterranean and along the English south coast. In the eighties she sailed along the Canary Islands and the Azores to the Caribbean Islands and back. Part of that journey was done solo sailing.
The Faston is a stable ship and a fast sailer. It has a draft of 220, is heavily rigged, and has a safe and spacious centre cockpit. The ship is ketch-rigged, which makes the sails easy to handle. The ship has a spacious interior with a cosy saloon, kitchen and a navigation corner, six berths, two wet cells and a large engine. The saloon and cabins have real standing height, which makes the ship suitable for long stays at sea or in port.
In 2023, the Faston was thoroughly overhauled. Below and above the waterline, the ship was provided with a new paint system. The outdated teak deck was replaced by a wood-epoxy bonded deck and the ceilings and hulls were re-carpeted.
Because the ship was put to dry in a shed for this ?refit?, this also provided the opportunity to provide the masts with completely new stainless steel rigging, including all tensioners, by CS Rigging in Zaandam and also to renew the wiring in the masts, the antennas, windex, halyards and blocks.
The outdated navigation equipment has been replaced by a new Raymarine marine radio, sea-talk network, plotter and two multifunction displays.
Finally, the ship was reupholstered.
The Faston is now ready for a new sea life and is waiting for someone with big travel plans.
