                              ~ SPARKMAN & STEPHENS MODERN (2016) CLASSIC (1966) KETCH

                                                       TAKE MiSCHKA CRUISING EVERYWHERE ~

~MiSCHKA~ ex SEEADLER ex HALUA was built at the Burger Boat Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1966, one of the very best aluminum yacht builders in the world. Sparkman & Stephens yacht designers were in their prime, designing for the Titans of the '60's. The build pedigree of this yacht is stellar! Her 2016 TOTAL rebuild Beach House Bamboo villa design makes this iconic classic yacht so modern, livable and cruise worthy! 

 

Between 2014 and 2016 ~MiSCHKA~ was rebuilt at Lauderdale Marine Center in Ft. Lauderdale. She was completely gutted/sandblasted to bare aluminum, surveyed; about 30% of the tanks and bottom were re-plated. Awlgrip paint systems were applied throughout. Every piece of equipment inside the yacht was replaced with top-of-the-line products. The deck house was removed and was artfully redesigned & lowered to a flush deck house center and aft cockpit profile above with her beautiful sheer line using sections of the original S&S Burger structures. The interior configuration was transformed into an expansive, wide-open, light-bathed, 2 bed/2 ensuite bath modern bamboo, beach house cruising villa (3rd stateroom option). She can reach anywhere there is 5’6” of water with the centerboard up (15' with centerboard down) and 64' of air draft (Bahamas & ICW Friendly).

~MiSCHKA~ spent the next 7 years after her rebuild in the Exumas with her owner loving living aboard, mostly off the grid. She was chock-a-block with family, friends & tons of water sports. The owners are building their Bahama dream house now with more kids on the way. The time has come to secure new costodians. She deserves an adventurous family to serve as a sumptuous, solid family world cruising yacht. 

~Mischka~ does need some exterior cosmetic & deck work. As she is, you can sail away. Mechanically, she has 

 less than 600 original engine hours.  The interior has had light use, built new 2014 - 2016. Currently in very nice  condition.

~MiSCHKA~ is a thoroughly transformed modern classic with a strong pedigreed history, for visionary adventurers looking for a big, bold and distinctive yacht with extraordinary character, style and heritage with an all modern interior and machinery.

And.. She's a Burger ~~
