1988 Amel Sharki

Perhaps you're dreaming of crossing oceans but wonder whether there is the perfect yacht for solo or for a couple to take you there. If so, you should already be familiar with Amel Yachts. But perhaps you're not familiar with the Sharki... their 39 foot Ketch Rigged, super capable, blue water option. All the numbers point to comfortable blue water ocean crossing and circumnavigation capabilities.

"Henri Amel's guiding principle was to build yachts that were robust, comfortable, and easy to manoeuvre. When it comes to offering sailing enthusiasts the opportunity for adventure on the high seas, construction must be flawless so as to ensure quality, safety, and comfort." Amel Website

And now for this specific Amel Sharki, currently on the hard in Annapolis, MD: This amazing vessel has been well maintained and is mechanically spectacular. Major upgrades include a new 50 hp Beta engine and transmission, new standing rigging, new solar and lithium batteries, new bow thruster and much more. Iridium Go, Starlink, AIS send and receive, super solid hull and deck, excellent sailing qualities, nice sail package and so much more.

Here is a list of just a few recent upgrades (note that there have been major upgrades almost annually for about a decade or so):
