Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 43 for sale in Lefkada Greece

Designed by Ed Dubois, this yacht is built to be strong (with Twaron reinforced forward sections) taking care of the crew even in rough conditions. The solid lead bulbed keel provides a good righting moment. The raised deck saloon provides glorious all-round views. The generous and easily reefed sail plan provides an exceptional SA/D ratio of 21.9, allowing you to keep moving under sail even when the winds get light. The self-tacking jib offers easy progress up narrow channels as well as a secure option when the winds get higher. ‘Belzara of London’ is hull #5 of the 48 built between 1999 and 2004. The hull was painted with Coppercoat antifouling in 2017.
This vessel inherits all the experience collected by the Wauquiez shipyard. The essence of the unique Pilot Saloon concept is elegance and high performance, panoramic vision from the raised saloon and inside the navigation station, concentration of all technical components in an accessible machinery room, and a bright galley located under the panoramic windshield. The performance of this Dubois-designed yacht confirms the reputation of both the architect and the shipyard. She possesses high speed, easy motion in rough conditions, and a powerful rig capable of being controlled with a shorthanded crew.
