1980 Ketch Presles 72

This 1980 Presles 72 is an aluminum-hulled ketch built for serious offshore sailing. At 72 feet in length with a 17-foot beam, she combines substantial sea-keeping ability with proven performance in extended ocean passages and competitive racing events.

The yacht features four heads and accommodates multiple crew or guests across her interior layout. Her aluminum construction provides durability and strength for demanding voyages and heavy-weather sailing.

The engine has received recent attention as part of ongoing maintenance work. The hull and exterior systems, however, are in need of comprehensive cosmetic and structural restoration. Despite her current condition, the yacht remains fundamentally sound and seaworthy, retaining the qualities that have made her capable of long ocean crossings and competitive sailing records.
