Camper & Nicholsons 70, SPIRIT OF SANGOMA

Broker’s Comments

Designed by Raymond Wall, SPIRIT OF SANGOMA was built in 1977 by Camper & Nicholsons. She is part of a small series of semi-custom oceanic ketches built by this prestigious British shipyard.

Her sturdy construction, waterlines, and fractional rigging allow for safe, comfortable, and fast navigation in any sea and wind condition.

This yacht has always been well-maintained and updated by her owners. A significant refit took place in 1999, during which the two powerful Perkins engines, currently on board, were installed. In 2012, she was purchased by her current owner, who carried out major renewal works, including the interior, at the Nautor Swan shipyard in Scarlino.

All onboard systems are in order and fully functional. Beautiful, for example, are the new (2023) custom stainless steel exhaust risers.

Below deck, there is an atmosphere of seafaring from another era. The abundant use of solid teak makes the interior luxurious and warm.

The raised dinette is cosy and bright, enjoying excellent views outside.

There is a master cabin aft and two VIP cabins, all with bathrooms. Forward, there’s a spacious crew/storage area with access from the deck as well.

Suitable for both owner and professional use, SPIRIT OF SANGOMA is a yacht that leaves no one indifferent.

Owner’s Comments

I bought the yacht in 2012 and made an important first refit at the Nautor Swan headquarters at Marina di Scarlino. All functional parts of SPIRIT OF SANGOMA have seen restoration as has most of her interior.

SPIRIT OF SANGOMA has always remained in the Mediterranean around Greece, the Balearic Islands, the Côte d’Azur and Sardinia. She is really an excellent solution for sailing or motor navigation.

The yacht is composed of three guest cabins with independent bathrooms and a double crew cabin with bathroom – all very practical cabins. There is a spacious cabin with 2 person sofa and chart area. The kitchen is very large and includes two refrigerators, an icebox, Bosch oven from 2021, microwave, two burner stove and two electric hot plates, garbage disposal and washing machine.

The outdoor table is very practical, foldable and comfortable for 6 people or more.

Two water tanks with total capacity of 2800 litres and two diesel tank with total capacity of 2400 litres allow for autonomy of navigation of around 750 miles.
