Broker Remarks
F & C 44 for sale. WINTER was built by Alberto Cibils in Buenos Aires to a design by German Frers in 1983.The Frers & Cibils 44 has been known for years as a high quality, serious offshore yacht. WINTER is a fast and sea kindly boat, with the added benefit of having shoal draft due to its lifting keel. With a balanced ketch rig, these boats have proven themselves time and time again in ocean crossings or long distance races. A classic passage maker. Handbuilt to high standards, the fiberglass work, carpentry and stainless steel work must be seen to be fully appreciated. Teak laid decks and cockpit. Excellent attention to detail throughout with extensive use of quality hardwood. Well cared for by her owners. In the current ownership for 12 years and always stored undercover for winter whilst in the UK, which involves removal of both masts. The masts were repainted in 2016 and the rigging is regularly checked.
