The 32.6-metre Vitters sailing yacht Ribelle has been sold with Jamie Small of Burgess representing the seller and Ken Keefe from Keefe Pacific introducing the buyer.
Built in carbon fibre by the Dutch yard to a design by Malcolm McKeon, Ribelle was delivered in 2017 to experienced sailing yacht owners. She has undergone a recent refit, which encompassed a repaint including the hull, mast and boom, as well as a brand new suit of cruising sails.
Thanks to a self-tacking jib, Ribelle can either be sailed with a small crew in cruising mode, or transformed into racing mode by swapping out the cruising sails for high-tech performance sails. She is a regatta regular and can often be spotted at some of the world's most prestigious events, with her superior sailing performance on display during previous editions of the Maxi Rolex Cup, Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta, Les Voiles de St Tropez and Palma Superyacht Cup.
A Rémi Tessier interior boasts modern styling and brightly lit spaces using bleached teak, white leather and lacquered copper among the luxurious materials in the decor. Accommodation is for six guests in three cabins comprising a master suite, VIP suite and a twin cabin, all with en suite bathroom facilities. Additional cabins house up to six crew members.
The power management features a hybrid system with two lightweight generators and a massive lithium battery pack. Under power, a single Volvo Penta engine drives this yacht to a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum speed of 12 knots.
Ribelle was asking €16,500,000.
