1986 Wauquiez Pretorien

This 1986 Wauquiez Pretorien is a 35-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat built by Henri Wauquiez, known for solid construction and exceptional interior finishing. The hull design is recognized for staying dry and handling offshore conditions. The boat measures 11.75 feet on the beam and is powered by a 30-horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engine with direct drive and a three-bladed folding propeller.

The layout suits couples or small families and works for both cruising and club racing. Below deck, the boat has two cabins and one head, with notable joinery work throughout the interior. A V-berth mattress is in place.

Recent updates include a new Volvo diesel engine installed in 2018 with under 400 hours of running time. The forestay and furler were replaced in 2015. The battery system was upgraded in 2018 with three Group 31 house batteries and one Group 24 starting battery, paired with a Xantrex charger. A Dometic cold plate refrigerator was also added in 2018. The remaining standing rigging is original to the boat.
