King Marine

King Marine

When the owner of this unique sloop envisioned a retro look sailing yacht capable of the most exhilarating performances he hired the best duo of the modern times to meet his expectations: the naval architect Javier Soto Acebal and the Spanish shipyard King Marine are known by the creation of many iconic vessels and they did it again with this yacht, combining a minimalist outside look, reminiscent of the 1900-1930 sailing boats, with state-of-the-art project and construction aiming for a very aggressive performance. This Neo Classic sailing yacht has a simple deck with most of the maneuver halyard hidden beneath and driven to the aft part of the cockpit.   The carbon rig is a swept back 3 spreader layout with 110% jib overlap and no runners. Construction is 100% carbon and epoxy perfectly executed to achieve and extraordinary strength hull with a very light displacement. The keel is made of a high tensile steel plate with a heavy bulb for a very low center of gravity within a reasonable draft. The Edwardian style interior was executed in Teak, Caoba and Cedar woods with a classical arrangement: owner’s cabin forward, salon amid ship connected with the galley and the 2 guest cabins astern.

Don Juan is a RINA CE A1 certified vessel and all the extensive maintenance, upgrades and updates (listed below) made since her launch has been approved by the architect and the builder.

This unique sailing yacht is ready to please the most discerning yachtsman.

The interior bulkheads, doors, cabinets and decks are constructed in a Kevlar/honeycomb sandwich and finished with Caoba, Cedar and Teak woods.  The yacht has the disposition of the Owner\'s cabin on forward provided with air conditioner unit, LCD TV and CS player, a centered salon connected with the galley and an access to the guest cabins on aft.  The salon includes a complete entertainment center (LCD TV, Blue Ray disc player and high fidelity sound equipment).  In the Salon, this disposition includes the settees and table in the salon area, can accommodate up to eight persons.  The yacht has three heads (one in each cabin).

The galley comes with two stainless steel sinks with hot and cold water pressure system, and a Force 10 gimbaled stove with three burners and oven.  A reefer box, fridge and microwave complete the galley utilities.   Additional two tanks for fresh water, the yacht does have a water maker installed.
