Classic Rhodes lines, modern comforts, the toughness and durability of steel, the sailing performance of a seagoing centerboard vessel, the right mast height for the ICW?what?s not to fall in love with?
VALKAY is an absolutely Bristol Rhodes center cockpit motorsailer designed by the famous Naval Architect Phillip Rhodes, designer of many iconic beauties, and built by Steel Yachts LTD in New Zealand. This impressive motor sailing sloop is now for sale and currently locate in Panama and set to cruise the Caribbean Sea. Guaranteed to turn heads wherever she goes, the Valkay has been maintained in stunning condition as a fitting homage to her design heritage. She completed an extensive retrofit in 2016 where over a million dollars was spent on bringing her to pristine condition. Her current owners have cared for her in the same vein, adding things like an industrial icemaker and a new air conditioning system. They have sailed her down the Pacific coast and are heading into the Caribbean, where she can be viewed easily in a variety of locations?and you?re already in paradise! Survey Available
