Description

MCA Cat 0 coded Sparkman & Stephens designed Nauticat 521 ketch configured for luxury liveaboard long-distance cruising. Extensively updated and refitted and offered for sale in turnkey order. FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS: SALAMANDER OF LYMINGTON is a Nauticat 521 pilot-saloon ketch-rigged staysail cutter designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Siltala Yachts in Finland in 1987. Sold to her current owners by Grabau International’s Alex Grabau in 2009, SALAMANDER underwent a comprehensive refit and upgrade at the Berthon Boat Company, covering all aspects of the yacht and her systems to ready her for planned family bluewater adventures. Living onsite and working closely with an appointed refit manager, the 2010 refit, which eventually cost many times the original purchase price of the boat, focused on reliability, redundancy, and comfort at sea. Such was the depth of her refit that following her ‘shakedown’ cruise, which encompassed a 35,000Nm full circumnavigation, SALAMANDER was subject to a 7-page editorial feature in the December 2014 issue of Yachting World. Following her return to Lymington, rather than sell and move on to fresh projects, her owners were truly in love with SALAMANDER and their new life aboard. The decision was made in 2015 to code SALAMANDER for charter, both to MCA Category 2 and subsequently in 2021, and very unusually, to MCA Category 0 (unrestricted miles from shore). SALAMANDER’s new life of luxury fully-crewed charter began soon after with summer day-charters around the Solent, followed by annual trans-Atlantic circuits with the World Cruising Club’s ARC and ARC Europe. Continually updated and maintained since her 2010 refit, SALAMANDER’s specification highlights include:- • Raised pilot saloon configuration • Four accommodation cabins with berths for up to 12 including converting lower dinette and occasional saloon berth • Replaced American Diesel Corp 139hp diesel engine with Borg Warner Velvet Drive hydraulic gearbox • MaxProp with rope-cutter • Vetus 24vDC bowthruster • Ketch rigged cutter with self-tacking staysail • Harken genoa and staysail furlers • Sander Sails Vectran and Dacron sail wardrobe plus North Sails asymmetric with ATN snuffer • Standing rigging replaced 2010, inspected annually and partially further replaced 2022-24 • Teak laid decks – 12mm with no fastenings – replaced 2010 • Hull stripped and epoxy treated – 2010 • Long fin lead keel with skeg-supported rudder • Lewmar self-tailing winches • Simpson 175kgs davits with Avon 315 RIB and 15hp outboard • Sprayhood, bimini and cockpit cushions • 3000w Nilsson twin gypsy anchor/mooring windlass with 75lbs CQR anchor • Full Raymarine instrument package from 2010 including twin plotters, radar, AIS transceiver, autopilot and VHF’s with DSC • Navtex • SSB radio with insulated backstay and Pactor modem • Iridium Go satellite communications with fixed aerial • 4-burner gas stove with oven/grill • Twin under-counter fridges/fridge-freezers plus further large capacity chest freezer – all seawater cooled • Full sized heads (electric in forward heads) • Black and grey water holding tanks • Webasto diesel fired hot air cabin heating system • 12vDC ventilation fans • Washing machine • TVs and stereo systems • Yanmar 2GM20 diesel generator with 10kva output • Twin Mastervolt 100amp battery chargers • Sterling alternator charge controller • Sterling inverter • Recently replaced AGM service batteries, engine start battery and generator start battery • HRO Seafari 170 lph reverse osmosis watermaker Now offered for sale to make way for new land-based projects, SALAMANDER is UK-flagged and deemed UK VAT paid. She remains coded to MCA Cat 0 (6 persons) and Cat 2 (12 guests and 3 crew) with all the necessary equipment. She has been inspected annually, including an out-of-water survey every five years (last out-of-water survey being 2023). Her owners maintain her to a very high standard to comply with the coding requirements and their meticulous attention to detail, including annual hauling for fresh antifoul and anodes.
