Description
.
"Amati" is offered for sale by her second owner, who has carefully maintained her since 2007. Recent (2025) upgrades include a new genoa and cutter jib by Ullman, a new stay for the cutter jib, an overhauled generator, re-isolated engine room and a full check of all thru-hulls with renewed antifouling.
Her fully hydraulic sail handling with Reckmann furlers and a powerful 20 hp bow thruster make her easy to sail shorthanded from the cockpit. Designed for comfortable cruising, she combines a practical interior layout with a sheltered, well-thought-out cockpit.
This well-kept ocean cruiser performs beautifully in both light airs and heavy weather, and with her winged keel she can access shallower cruising grounds worldwide. Easily handled by two, yet spacious enough for eight, "Amati" offers both performance and comfort in equal measure.
Please note "Amati" is not located in our sales harbour and viewings are on appointment only. Please also note that this brochure is preliminary.
