Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 55 zu Verkaufen

Renne is an excellent example of a Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 55 the largest design to date in the venerable line of yachts. A main feature of the design is the arch that supports the mainsheet, bimini, cockpit speakers, and lights. The yacht’s primary winches are electric and can be controlled from either of the dual steering stations. Both the main and genoa sheets are led aft under the coachroof coamings to keep the deck clean and uncluttered. The self-tacking jib will make shorthanded sailing easy, and for reaching and running conditions the bow has been configured for a furling gennaker or a Code 0 sail for light air.
Belowdeck there’s a panoramic 360-degree view from both the dinette table to starboard and the navigation table to port in the main saloon. In keeping with the bluewater design brief, tankage includes some 110 gallons for fuel and 211 gallons for water.

Renne has benefited from recent upgrades in 2023 included New Raymarine Instruments, standing rigging replaced 2021, mast re-wired 2021 and new Mainsheet traveller on arch fitted 2023.
She is currently ashore at Clyde Marina and can be viewed seven days a week during office hours.
Viewing highly recommended.
