Huisman 92′ S&S Ketch, ABEON

Broker’s Comments

ABEON is a stunning looking, S&S / Bill Langan designed cruising ketch built by Royal Huisman Shipyard and with interior design by Peter Bieldsnijder. You could not ask for a better pedigree.

The vessel is in very good condition, as she has gone through an extensive refit in 2018 and 2020. Work has included – full refit of the main engine; electrical refit with new wiring, new batteries, two new generators; lay out refit – adding new cabin and a new bathroom; rigging refit – including new rods, new forestay with auto furlex, new textile forestay staysail, and new genoa sail; new fridges and a/c system; new hydraulic system for bowthruster, winches, autopilot; new fabrics outside and inside; inside new repainting and new ceilings; and various other small upgrades and repairs.

Owner’s Comments

We purchased CYCLOS II 2017 and since then have put her through a series of refits to enhance her usability and improve systems, her layout and autonomy. We also modified the layout aft to make the one large cabin in to two cabins. We have only sailed in the central Med area (France, Italy, Sardinia, Sicily area).

ABEON offers unparalleled versatility being a real offshore world cruising yacht. Wherever her future voyages will take her to, Arctic waters or Polynesia – she will always be a safe and ultra-reliable yacht that can be operated with few crew in all kinds of conditions.

ABEON’s upwind and reaching ability comes from a modest beam, which is pulled in aft to allow comfortable steering and motion in large seas. With high stability being vital to comfortable cruising, ABEON has a generous amount of ballast, fitted inside a deep keel.

ABEON has been upgraded with the objective to operate on 3-4 hours of generator time per day. Her systems of hydraulics, inverters, and DC batteries have proved to meet this goal after a deep refit run in 2020.

Note:

• ABEON has building number 341 from Royal Huisman Shipyard BV.
• She is sailing under the flag of The Netherlands and is EU VAT paid.
