1983 Chantier du Jaï Petit Prince à venda

<p><b>FOR SALE – Bluewater Cruiser “Petit Prince – NINDETHANA”</b></p> <p><b>French Flag – VAT Paid</b></p> <p>The “Petit Prince – Nindethana” is a proven bluewater sailing yacht, renowned for her robustness and her high-quality MARINOR steel construction. Designed by Marcel Subrero and built by the Jaï shipyard in 1983, she offers exceptional interior volume for a 12.50-metre vessel, as well as a fully-glazed inside wheelhouse providing 360° visibility. This makes watchkeeping extremely comfortable and safe, especially during night passages or difficult weather conditions. Originally rigged as a ketch, she was later converted into a sloop to improve sailing performance, reduce windage, and free up the aft deck. Her full-batten mainsail with three reefs and her well-balanced rig offer excellent behaviour at sea, particularly in strong winds and heavy seas.</p> <p> </p> <p>On deck, the large uncluttered foredeck features a Lofran Tigre 1000 W windlass, a 35 kg Delta anchor with stainless-steel connector, and a 23 kg Brittany anchor as backup. The central cockpit is well protected and equipped with eight Lewmar winches, a Silva compass mounted on a Morse pedestal, a UV-protected sprayhood with a brand-new spare unit, and an almost new lazy bag. Aft, the davits support the Siemens solar panels installed in 2024, and a stainless-steel swim platform facilitates sea access. The entire deck benefits from a recent Kiwi Grip non-skid coating.</p> <p> </p> <p>The rig includes a 15-metre Francespar mast, ACMO stainless-steel standing rigging, a full-batten mainsail in good condition, a 50 m² genoa also in excellent shape, a near-new staysail, and a storm jib that has never been used. All chainplates are stainless steel, and the entire rig is sized for demanding offshore sailing.</p> <p> </p> <p>The yacht is powered by a 83 HP Fornaut diesel engine with approximately 3,200 hours. It is supplied by a main 600-litre fuel tank integrated into the keel and a 70-litre day tank. Engine access is excellent from the side cabins. The fuel circuit benefits from a pre-filter and twin cartridge filters, the freshwater pump was replaced in 2023, and the three-blade Vetus propeller is fully protected by the skeg-supported rudder.</p> <p> </p> <p>The electrical system operates on 24 volts with four 6-volt service batteries connected in series, complemented by two 12-volt engine batteries. The onboard electronics are powered through a 24/12 V converter providing regulated 13.8 V. A separate inverter supplies 220 V AC for domestic appliances. Energy production is ensured by two Siemens 140 W panels connected to a Victron charge controller, combined with the engine alternator or the 30 A shore charger.</p> <p> </p> <p>The navigation electronics include an Icom SSB with Pactor modem for offshore emails and GRIB weather files, a Navicom DSC VHF, an AIS SR161, two Garmin GPS units (including a GPSMAP 276C), a Raytheon ST6000 autopilot, a Raytheon Pathfinder radar, and Raymarine depth and wind instruments.</p> <p> </p> <p>The interior is bright and spacious, featuring an inside wheelhouse offering panoramic visibility and an interior helm mechanically linked to the outside steering. The saloon includes a large convertible table surrounded by generous storage. The galley is equipped with an ENO stove, gas water heater, refrigerator, and three freshwater tanks totalling 320 litres. The aft cabin offers a large double berth and significant storage, while the starboard cabin provides two convertible bunks. Forward, a bathroom with a bath/shower and hot/cold water leads to the forward cabin with a semi-double berth and a very large sail locker.</p> <p> </p> <p>The boat is located in the Mediterranean under the French flag, VAT paid. Viewings are possible by appointment with the owner.</p> <p> </p> <p>#PetitPrince #SteelSailboat #BluewaterCruiser #OffshoreSailing #InsideHelm #SloopRig</p> <p>#SailboatForSale #BarcelonaYachting #12mSailboat #OceanSailing #LiveaboardYacht</p>
