KRITER V is a legendary yacht, an icon of offshore racing history. Designed in 1978 by renowned naval architect André Mauric and built by the prestigious French shipyard Gallian, this cutter-rigged sloop was born to compete — and to win. From the moment she hit the water, she proved her pedigree, finishing second in the inaugural Route du Rhum in 1978, one of the most demanding solo transatlantic races in the world.
With her sleek silhouette and race-bred lines, KRITER V is more than a yacht — she is a story, a spirit, a living piece of maritime heritage. Her exceptional career includes numerous regattas and years of service as a renowned sailing school vessel, contributing to the education of generations of sailors across the Atlantic and northern waters.
Recently refitted to the highest standards, KRITER V has been given a new lease on life while preserving her authentic charm. Every element of her restoration has been carried out with care and precision, bringing together the elegance of classic yachting with the reliability and performance of modern upgrades. Today, she stands ready to sail again — whether for offshore racing, classic regattas, or adventurous bluewater cruising.
Sailing on board KRITER V is an emotional and exhilarating experience. She is the perfect choice for discerning yachtsmen and collectors in search of a fast, historic, and beautifully maintained classic sailing yacht — a vessel that not only performs but inspires.
