This 1972 Barbary Ketch is a traditionally designed cruising yacht built to strong standards. The 32-foot fiberglass hull combines proven seakeeping ability with practical accommodation for extended coastal and offshore voyages. A single Mercedes Benz OM 636 diesel engine of 42 horsepower provides reliable propulsion, paired with a gearbox that was reconditioned in 2006.
The ketch rig features a masthead bermudian configuration with dual masts, each fitted with single inline spreaders. The main sail was supplied by Arun Sails and the mizzen by James Lawrence Sails. A furling genoa completes the canvas inventory. An electric windlass with anchor and chain system supports seamanlike deck work, alongside standard fittings including pulpit, stern guard, stanchions, and handrails. The self-draining cockpit is sheltered by a rigid canopy with a GRP top and alloy frame incorporating toughened glass windows.
The interior layout provides three cabin spaces across the boat. The forecabin contains two single V berths, while the aft cabin mirrors this arrangement with two additional single berths. A double berth is formed by converting the dinette seating. A galley equipped with sink, fridge, and cooker serves meal preparation, and a dedicated head compartment houses a marine toilet and sink. Cabin lighting and interior curtains are fitted throughout.
Navigation and communication equipment includes a Raymarine C80 GPS plotter with radar capability, a Raymarine ST6001 autopilot, VHF radio, depth sounder, speed and distance log, and wind indicator. The helm station carries a Plastimo compass and Sestrel barometer with world clock. Additional systems include solar panels for power generation, an Airtone D4 diesel cabin heater, bilge pump, and screen wipers.
