1973 Romanza Motorsailer 12 MS

This 1973 Romanza Motorsailer is a steel-hulled motor-sailor built by Van der Torre in the Netherlands. The 36-foot yacht combines sailing capability with a single 130 hp Ford Lehman diesel engine, bow thruster, and ketch rig. Both steering stations—inside wheelhouse and outside—provide flexible helm positions for varied cruising conditions.

The interior layout maximizes living space with two generous sleeping cabins, a spacious dinette with galley, and a comfortable lounge area integrated with the wheelhouse. Navigation is well supported by quality instruments and a comprehensive electrical system that includes a generator and solar panels for extended independence.

The yacht underwent major overhauls in 2014 and 2021, during which the engine, rigging, electrical systems, and hull were serviced and refinished. These updates address the core systems that enable reliable long-distance cruising.
