Spirit of Tradition Yacht "Bequia" Built by Brooklin Boatyard For Sale 91'
BEQUIA is a rare find — a high-performance world cruiser with serious regatta credentials and timeless style. Built in 2009 by the legendary Brooklin Boat Yard in Maine, she blends traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering in a way few yachts can.
Still with her original owner and longtime captain, BEQUIA has been professionally maintained and consistently upgraded since launch. She’s a yacht that’s been cared for by the same hands that built her sailing legacy — and it shows.
From the start, BEQUIA was designed to do both — cruise oceans comfortably and compete successfully. Her cold-molded hull is a work of art, crafted from Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and Sipo Mahogany, all reinforced with biaxial fiberglass and epoxy for strength and durability.
Her rig is all business: Southern Spars carbon masts, Future Fibers EC6 rigging, and an up-to-date North Sails inventory for racing and passage making alike. In-boom furling on both the main and mizzen makes sail handling efficient and even allows for short-handed or near-singlehanded sailing — impressive for a yacht of her size.
Step below and BEQUIA feels like a New England coastal home at sea — warm, inviting, and built with purpose. The pilothouse offers 360° visibility, with comfortable seating for watching the world go by underway.
The main salon is beautifully detailed in Douglas Fir, centered around a custom fireplace and built-in seating that gives it a cozy, timeless feel. Forward, the galley is fully equipped for serious cooking and connects naturally with the crew spaces and captain’s cabin aft.
BEQUIA’s exterior is as practical as it is beautiful. Her classic yawl profile and varnished pilothouse are unmistakable, while clever modern details make life aboard easy:
- Hydraulic side boarding platform doubles as a tender dock or swim deck
- Flush deck anchor locker with hydraulic arm keeps her lines clean
Whether you’re setting out on a blue water passage or preparing for your next regatta, BEQUIA is a yacht that’s ready to go — and built to impress.
