1913 Sterno Shipyard Gaff Topmast Schooner for sale in Denmark
‘La Boheme’ is a 34m Swedish topmast schooner which was originally built to carry 30 ton loads of rock, she has been in service for over 100 years. Her former owner of 47 years used her for private weekend use exploring the local fjords and lakes with his family and friends.
Now back on the market ‘La Boheme’ benefits from being meticulously maintained throughout the last two owners and the works carried out has been very extensive. In the past year she underwent a full re-caulking of the topsides by a Shipwright company in Germany and the normal oiling, antifouling and painting.
She is able to accommodate 16 in five cabins and the salon all of which are open slat designed bunks. Her ample space down below allows for 50 people for cocktails and 80 people for functions on deck. She has not yet been MCA coded however the works needed are relatively simple alterations which would allow for a great charter potential – day charter, sail training and functions.
‘La Boheme’ has two sets of sails one from 1996 and the other from 2009 which have been lightly used, rigging and spars are all in working condition. She was fitted with a reconditioned Volvo Pena MD100B in 2005 which gives you 10 litres per hour in fuel consumption at 5 knots.
This Swedish Topmast Schooner is a real piece of maritime history which is now awaiting her new owner. Viewing is recommended to appreciate her condition.
