Marigan, a classic 1898 gaff rig cutter for sale in Mallorca, was originally named “Molita” — meaning little Molly — after the daughter of her first owner and designer, Charles Livingstone of Liverpool. She was built in 1898 by Samuel Bond at the Birkenhead Shipyard, the same renowned builder behind “Española,” later sailed by King Alfonso XII of Spain.

Following an exceptional reconstruction, Marigan became a highly competitive classic sailing yacht, racing successfully and winning numerous trophies in prestigious classic regattas.

With an overall length of 18.90 metres, this historic gaff cutter is powered by a Perkins 4108 diesel engine delivering 50 horsepower.

Her current owner renamed her Marigan, a name formed from the initials of his daughters.

This magnificent classic gaff rig cutter is currently lying in Mallorca and represents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking an elegant, historic sailing yacht with proven regatta pedigree.
