1985 Belliure Performance Sailboat for Sale $749000

HIGH SPIRITS is crusing to Annapolis, MD, where she will remain until SOLD!

HIGH SPIRITS was designed by Ron Holland and built by Belliure Yachts in Spain, to the very highest standards. Originally conceived as the largest yacht a couple or family can comfortably handle without crew, she is one of the first, low-profile raised pilothouse sailing

yachts. She has a very pleasing profile, while offering an exceptional level of light and unrestricted visibility from her raised pilothouse and main salon. HIGH SPIRITS is a powerful sailing yacht with simple sail handling systems, fully equipped for comfortable world voyaging.

Her three-stateroom layout provides all amenities for comfortable living aboard in port or far at sea. Under her present ownership, she has been mindfully maintained and improved with an open checkbook, from the fundamentals such as all new seawater hoses & clamps, right through a full upgrade to her electric system; generator, solar panels, lithium batteries, inverters and a full upgrade to 220 VAC power.

2013 Selden in-mast furling spar is 1.3M taller than the original and adds substantial horsepower to the original performance Ron Holland rig, and all sails were replaced in her most recent refit.
