GERMÁN FRERS - FASTNET CAMPAIGNER - CATEGORY 2 CODEDFor many years the flagship of Greig City Academy's award-winning offshore sail training programme.Price substantially reduced September 2026SCARAMOUCHE is far more than a classic offshore racing yacht. Designed by Germán Frers and built by Palmer Johnson (USA) for the United States' 1981 Admiral's Cup campaign, she was created to compete at the highest level of international offshore racing and has continued to fulfil that purpose throughout her life.During her ownership by Greig City Academy, SCARAMOUCHE has remained an active offshore yacht, successfully completing the Rolex Fastnet Race in 2017 and 2019 before continuing in regular offshore sail training, coastal passages and racing. Most recently, she completed a successful Southampton to Alderney return passage before taking part in the 2026 Round the Island Race only days before being offered for sale, demonstrating that she remains exactly what she was designed to be: a capable and actively sailed offshore yacht. Alongside this continued sailing programme, she has served as the flagship of the school's offshore sailing initiative, introducing generations of young people from inner-cityLondon to offshore sailing, seamanship, teamwork and ocean racing.Today she combines world-class design pedigree with documented investment, current RYA Category 2 Coding, extensive maintenance records and a proven offshore history, offering her next owner an exceptional opportunity to acquire a yacht whose provenance extends far beyond her specification.Her recent history is unusually well documented. Significant works have included major deck reconstruction, replacement standing rigging, machinery upgrades, electrical modernisation, plumbing improvements, heating installation, safety equipment renewal and ongoing RYA Category 2 Coding compliance.SCARAMOUCHE is offered with an extensive offshore safety inventory, a Beta Marine 43hp diesel engine installed in 2015, Hydraulic drive system renewed in 2023, standing rigging replaced by Ocean Yacht Systems in 2017, a North Sails wardrobe, and a Raymarine navigation suite installed in 2019.For a buyer seeking a capable offshore yacht rather than a restoration project, SCARAMOUCHE offers a strong combination of design pedigree, continued use, documented investment and provenance.Equally suited to offshore racing, adventure sailing, classic events or continued sail training, she represents an opportunity to become the next custodian of a yacht with a meaningful history and many more miles ahead.KEY SELLING POINTSGermán Frers-designed offshore racing yacht.Successfully completed the Rolex Fastnet Race in 2017 and 2019.Current RYA Category 2 Coding.Flagship of Greig City Academy's renowned offshore sail training programme.Extensive documented maintenance, refit and improvement history.Beta Marine 43hp diesel engine installed in 2015.Hydraulic drive system renewed in 2023.Standing rigging replaced by Ocean Yacht Systems in 2017.Standing rigging professionally inspected annually by Advanced Rigging.Aluminium mast and spars.North Sails sail wardrobe, professionally serviced annually.Mainsail and 130% overlapping genoa (2017).No.3 jib (2023).Two spinnakers (2019).Raymarine navigation suite installed in 2019.Radar, AIS and integrated sailing instruments.Offshore safety inventory including two liferafts, EPIRB and eight lifejackets.Comprehensive supporting documentation including coding certificates, maintenance records and refit invoices.Suitable for offshore racing, adventure sailing, classic events or sail training.OWNER'S COMMENTSSCARAMOUCHE has been at the heart of Greig City Academy's offshore sailing programme for many years, introducing generations of students to offshore sailing, seamanship, teamwork and personal responsibility.Throughout our ownership she has remained an active offshore yacht, successfully completing the Rolex Fastnet Race in both 2017 and 2019 before continuing her role as our principal sail training vessel. Every mile sailed has reinforced our belief that young people learn best through genuine experience and challenge.Maintaining SCARAMOUCHE has always been a priority. We have continually invested in her structure, machinery, rigging, systems and safety equipment to ensure she remained capable of demanding offshore passages. That investment is reflected in the extensive maintenance records, invoices and certification that accompany the yacht.As our sailing programme evolves, we have taken the decision to replace SCARAMOUCHE with a more modern yacht that better suits the next stage of the Academy's development.We hope her next owner will enjoy her as much as we have and continue the story of a yacht that has inspired so many young sailors.CONTINUAL INVESTMENTOne of SCARAMOUCHE's greatest strengths is the documented investment made throughout her ownership by Greig City Academy.Rather than simply carrying out repairs as required, the Academy followed a programme of continual improvement to support offshore sail training and maintain RYA Category 2 Coding. The result is a yacht accompanied by an extensive archive of invoices, certificates and maintenance records, providing an unusually clear picture of her recent history.Documented works include:Structural ImprovementsMajor foredeck reconstruction.Replacement of the remaining deck structure.Professional epoxy composite repairs.Replacement deck core where required.New non-slip deck finish.Additional InfoMACHINERYBeta Marine 43hp diesel engine installed in 2015.Hydraulic drive system renewed in 2023.Engine serviced annually.RIGStanding rigging replaced by Ocean Yacht Systems in 2017.Annual inspection and servicing by Advanced Rigging.SYSTEMSDocumented investment includes electrical upgrades, plumbing improvements, heating installation, interior refurbishment and continued commercial coding compliance.BROKER'S OBSERVATIONIt is unusual to find a yacht of this age supported by such comprehensive maintenance records and professional documentation. Rather than demonstrating isolated repairs, the archive illustrates consistent investment over many years, giving prospective purchasers a clear understanding of how SCARAMOUCHE has been maintained.DESIGN & CONSTRUCTIONDesigned by Germán Frers, SCARAMOUCHE reflects the qualities for which his offshore yachts are renowned: balanced handling, strong offshore capability and enduring performance.More than four decades after her launch, she continues to fulfil the role for which she was designed, combining proven offshore racing credentials with the practicality required for sail training and extended passage making.PRINCIPAL PARTICULARSDesigner: Germán FrersBuilder: Palmer Johnson (USA)Year Built: 1980Construction: Welded aluminium hull, deck and superstructureRig: Masthead
