The design brief given to Ted Fontaine for the sailing yacht Aventura was to create a world cruising yacht for a young family.
Safety and comfort were the two most important qualities; Beauty, flexibility and ease followed suit.
In true Fontaine style, sailing yacht Aventura provides the owner with classic beauty married to modern technology. The centre board gives access in coastal waters where other sister ships dare not tread
The push-button rig and fold-down stern ease the interface between wind and water.
The flow of the yacht with three entrance/exits, an on-deck salon and a raised salon, plus 4 staterooms aft for owner and guests offer the maximum living potential for a yacht that can be handled by only four crew.
She was originally built in Denmark by Danish Yachts but was subsequently the subject of such a major overhaul in Holland that many consider it to have been a rebuild at the Holland Yachtbouw yard.
Now the yacht is for sale and will be available for inspection at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show later this month.
The asking price is: $ 4 950 000 USD and the broker is James Hewitt at Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage
