84′ Custom Frers Sloop, METOLIUS

Broker’s Comments

METOLIUS is a true offshore voyager, with an easily driven hull form and a powerful sail plan engineered to be easily managed by minimal crew. She has a Rondal rig with hydraulic furling mainsail, headstay and staysail; hydraulic winches, a functional, simple deck layout, and a comfortable, well protected cockpit.

Her interior designed by Peter Beeldsnijder, is detailed in varnished teak with an ambiance that exudes elegant warmth with an uncanny functionality. The interior layout includes three staterooms, two heads with stall showers, separate crew quarters and head, and a superb workshop stowage area forward – all crafted to the highest Huisman standards. The overall arrangement is ideal for family living, offering absolute comfort and privacy in her functional cabins. With over 150,000 miles under her keel, she has always had the benefit of exceptional preventative maintenance, and continual refitting, including a comprehensive engine rebuild in 2013, new hull paint in 2014 and many upgrades 2019 and in spring 2020 a mast paint and full rig overhaul, underwater service, interior upgrade and many more maintenance and service items.

In 2020, her owner was not able to enjoy the yacht. However, the yacht was maintained well throughout the period. In spring 2021, METOLIUS was fully prepared for summer 2021 and enjoyed throughout by the owner and his family sailing in the Aegean and Adriatic.

Simply stated, she is ready to go and quite stunning!

Note: The original specification from Huisman is available on request.
