Custom 1 (1985) For sale

Built as a carefully crafted amateur construction in Marseille in 1985, Khaya is a cruiser-racer type sailing yacht whose epoxy cold-moulded wooden hull reflects solid craftsmanship and provides reassuring seaworthiness. Featuring a deep fin keel combined with a separate rudder, she offers precise and responsive handling at the helm. Her low and slender lines give her an elegant silhouette, characteristic of yachts from her era.
Inside, the layout remains simple yet warm, with exposed woodwork recalling the authenticity of traditional sailing yachts. The intimate cockpit allows the skipper to remain close to the sea and fully connected to the sailing experience.
Her name, Khaya, meaning “mahogany,” perfectly reflects the spirit of the boat: a yacht with strong character and history, ideal for enthusiasts looking to take ownership of an authentic vessel and continue her story through new sailing projects.
