The 27.4-metre modern-classic sailing yacht Savannah has been listed for sale with Alastair Shove of Carrswood Yachts.
Launched by Concordia Custom Yachts in 1997, her all-carbon-composite hull is by top US naval architect David Pedrick with an interior by the renowned British designer John Munford – all created under the eye of "artistic director" Randolph Watkins, her first owner, whose design brief was "to build the most beautiful classic yacht conceivable".
Savannah sleeps four guests in two cabins, the spacious master cabin aft having its double berth to port and a sofa to starboard. Enjoying its own dedicated, private companionway hatch from the aft cockpit and a bathroom with roll-top enamelled tub, the cabin is naturally lit by a traditional deckhatch above. The guest en-suite double cabin is positioned forward of the saloon to starboard.
The saloon – with panelled mahogany joinery and buttoned leather upholstered seating – can be accessed via shallow access steps from the main cockpit, as well as internally from the master cabin. To starboard is a six-seater dining table. The beautifully-finished space provides a cosy and relaxed environment to enjoy watching a film in, during less favourable weather, with wood-burning stove, oil paintings and library. Savannah's galley is large enough to provide haute cuisine meals and there is crew accommodation forward for a couple.
With her long, elegant overhangs, traditional styling, strong yet light construction, modern underbody and efficient keel, Savannah has been described as a wolf in sheep's clothing. She has a high sail-carrying power and is a winning "spirit of tradition" racer as well as a comfortable cruiser.
Under power, a single 270hp MAN diesel gives the yacht for sale a cruising speed of 7 to 8 knots.
Lying in Cogolin, France, Savannah is asking €2,950,000 with VAT paid.
