DELPHINA is at the pinnacle of contemporary, custom built, world cruising yachts. A three stateroom, aft cockpit sloop, her interior features a two hundred and seventy degree-view raised salon with expansive exterior views and natural light. Her design, construction and outfitting are second to none. This well-designed steel sailboat offers the ultimate margin of safety for offshore world cruising, with absolute impact resistance and structural integrity. She is a word cruiser capable of sailing 200nm days in trade wind conditions.
Her long/deep fin keel with bulb ballast and partial skeg-hung semi-balanced rudder offer a wonderful balance of speed, responsiveness and comfortable motion. A powerful yet manageable rig, with all control lines led aft to the cockpit and powered winches, allows singlehanded/shorthanded sailing in any condition.
Exterior aesthetics and beauty are derived from design details, clean lines, polished stainless, contrasting accent paints, and curved glass. Form definitely follows function on this very sailable, cruisable, maintainable, comfortable yacht. For those who love woodwork, detailed joinery and varnished surfaces, all stops have been pulled in the interior. Solid teak is thoughtfully used to provide a functional and elegant living space. The craftsmanship is impressive, and she is equipped with quality systems and conveniences. Her condition is excellent, having spent her cruising life entirely on the US west coast.
