VIRTUAL VISIT VIDEOS ON REQUEST DESCRIPTION: Mikado 56’ rigged as a ketch Vendavel is a Mikado 56 ketch, a comfortable cruising monohull sailboat with a large aft saloon, built by the Constructions Nautiques du Sud-Ouest (CNSO) shipyard in France in 1980 (no. 65 out of about 100 units manufactured from 1972 to 1984) based on plans by naval architect Michel Bigoin. It is a solid ketch (balsa sandwich hull and deck) with a long fin keel, rigged as a masthead, reliable, capable of covering vast distances with ease, with great course stability and very little heel thanks to its generous shapes, and great maneuverability - manageable with a reduced crew thanks to its divided sail area, spacious and clear decks, and a robust and quiet diesel engine (range of 5 to 600 miles under engine – propulsion up to 10 knots). It anchors in shallow waters thanks to its draft of 2.00 m. This unit has 4 cabins for 8/12 guests on board, 2 bathrooms, and two toilets, one with a black water reserve. Since its acquisition by its current owner, numerous restoration works have been done… There is still a bit to do… TECHNICAL SHEET Brand Constructions Nautiques du Sud-Ouest Hull type Monohull Sailing program Comfortable cruising Country of manufacture France Architect Michel Bigoin Year of series launch 1976 Year of series end 1984 CHARACTERISTICS Overall length (from the bowsprit at the front to the skirt at the back) 17.90 m Hull length 16.06 m Waterline length 12.80 m Beam 4.86 m Maximum draft 2.00 m Air draft 15.60 m Light displacement 20,000 kg Ballast weight 6,000 kg Material Balsa polyester sandwich Keel type Fin keel Sail area downwind (m2) 152 Sail area upwind (m2) 125 Cabins (2 with double bed – 2 with two separate beds) 4 Minimum number of berths 8 Maximum number of approved persons 12 Headroom (m) 1.95/1.85 Number of bathrooms (including one with separate shower) 2 Number of toilets 2 (electric) Black water tank 1 Fresh water tank 1,000 liters Fuel tank 600 liters Workshop 1 Engine transmission type Shaft line LOCATION Visible at Port Camargue Region Le Grau du Roi - 30240 Country France Mooring possible at Port Camargue HULL Curative treatment Osmosis (planing and drying for 15 months) with epoxy lamination in 2015/2016.
