schooner Corto M

Schooner CORTO M

Short story about this boat:

In 2002 I found the hull, deck, and some inside fittings of the schooner under the shed of the best Malaysian boat builder yard, in Kuala terranganu, Pulau Duyong , the boat had been never launched, waiting to be completed.
I built the rigging, tanks, engine, systems, electricity, electronics and launched it in August 2003.
CortoM is the sister ship of Isaura, Bill Dixon design.
Construction standard is well above the Lloyd's regulation, completely built with well saisonned hard wood timber Chengal (malaysian teak) insect and fungus resistant, not a single square meter of plywood have been used, all fastening done with silicone bronze from UK, and Stainless Steel inside, deck made of Burma teak.
Maintenance is easy and inexpensive, everything has been built as professionnal working boat! I never had to visit a yachty shipchandler!
Since then, I'm sailing around South East Asia, on the China sea to Andaman with friends and familly .
Corto M is ready to sail anywhere, this schooner is just waiting for a long passage in real blue water ! .
Accomodation for 11 Paxs, 4 double cabins with 3 bathrooms, +2 crew berths.
CortoM will be perfect for charter, training vessel , or simply for private use.
I often sail alone but three on board will be perfect to fully enjoy this fast and powerfull schooner under all weather conditions.
I unfortunatly need to sell her for professional reasons
