54' Vripack Long Range Cruiser LADY GALATHEA
54' Vripack Long Range Cruiser LADY GALATHEA is a timeless Dutch designed and built Long Range Cruiser. The quality of the construction shows in every respect. This boat went through an extensive re-fit in 2013/2014 that included full paint from the keel up. A complete re-fit work list and documentation is available. All systems have been thoroughly inspected and are up to date. A recent survey is available for review by prospective buyers. The amazing design includes a three stateroom-three head layout, large salon and fabulous galley. Lady Galathea does not show her age in any respect and deserves serious consideration.
"Lady Galathea" was derived from the knowledge and wisdom of an experienced yachtsman who had the vision to build a yacht that could circumnavigate the globe, in extreme conditions and be easily fixed when things break and find parts quickly and be able to with somewhat of a mechanical knowledge be able to repair them.
This listing deserves a story, not just about the technical capabilities, but about a couple who decided to do what every yachtsman wants to do.
Sail around the world……
Lady Galathea has been to more places than most mega yacht owners have taken their vessel.
The beauty of this Mini Mega yacht is that she is easily handled by 2 people.
Solid Dutch built and Vripack engineered with only the highest quality fixtures and fittings "Lady Galathea" has just been repainted and the original owner has reluctantly decided to embark on another project.
She has cruised to the Black Sea, Turkey, Sweden, Croatia, Romania, United States and the Caribbean, over 20 countries.
The main features that appeal to the LRC buyers are the robust exterior styling with storage everywhere.
Dual Anchor System
Bollard Cleats … Huge lazarette and walk-in engine room with accessibility to all piping and wiring which is all marked and uniformly placed in the cable trays.
Sewer Treatment Plant.
A proper furnace for those Arctic and Alaskan winter cruises, protected rudders and propellers. Serious stability with Koop Nautic stabilizers.
The simplicity but comfort of the teak interior.
Redundant electronics and there is much much more to discover…………..
