Description
The 55' aluminium catamaran Roland Garde (2006) is an exceptional model, designed by the renowned naval architect Roland Garde in collaboration with record-holding sailors in speed sailing on the waters of Yères in the 2000s. This catamaran has been conceived to combine performance, robustness, and reliability, while offering great sailing capacity in the seas of the entire world. Built from aluminium, the material of choice for its strength and lightness, it is perfectly suited to the most demanding maritime conditions.
The design of this sailboat has been meticulously studied to ensure smooth navigation and great energy efficiency, making it an ideal companion for long cruises. After a complete renovation carried out between 2016 and 2022, the boat has benefited from the latest innovations in marine technology, providing its owner with optimal comfort and safety at sea.
After successfully crossing the Atlantic, the catamaran is currently sailing in the Caribbean and is based in Saint-François in Guadeloupe. The current owner, accompanied by his faithful four-legged companion, a border collie named Panda, now wishes to pass on this magnificent boat to a new enthusiast, ready to continue its adventure.
This catamaran, not only high-performing but also rich in history, is a rare opportunity for sea lovers to acquire a sailboat that has already experienced great adventures and is ready to live new ones.
A unique boat, which continues to tell its story while offering its future owner the chance to make their own.
