and indestructible construction, as well as an aura of a long and significant history that is still palpable. The classic hull shape of a spitzgatter immediately reveals its Nordic origins and helps ensure that the vessel is always a particularly welcome guest in Scandinavian ports. Her current owner and his family realised this straight away: »Rannö won us over with her appearance the day we first saw her moored in the harbour. She is one of a kind, a real eye-catcher in varnished natural wood and polished stainless steel. For my wife and me, with our stressful working lives, she has always been the place to unwind. On our travels in Scandinavia, it could sometimes be a bit ›annoying‹ to be constantly approached by people admiring the boat, but the wonder is very understandable when we look at her from a distance in the harbour.« In 2001, the current owner took over the Rannö. By then, she had already been converted and rigged as a 50:50 motorsailer, with a sturdy gaff rig and a beautiful, enclosed wheelhouse. »We have had Rannö professionally maintained every year. Her equipment has been continuously upgraded and modernised; she is state-of-the-art. Handling her is simple; the journey is the destination.« The mainsail also serves as a stabilising support sail, ensuring that Rannö has an easy motion at sea. When the wind is right, the owner also sets the Genoa. »We achieve a cruising speed of 6.5 knots when the engine runs along very quietly at just 1,200 rpm!« The photos show just what a comfortable, safe and stylish boat the Rannö is. At 11.8 metres long, four metres wide and with a draft of 1.85 metres, she offers every comfort below deck and four berths. The Vetus Deutz engine was installed in 2010 and has just 700 operating hours. Made for relaxed cruising on the Baltic Sea or elsewhere. No wonder that the owner, after many voyages, says: »It will be hard to part with the Rannö. However, the mere two to three weeks a year that we still have time to spend on board today have led us to make this decision!« The Rannö is for sale through Robbe & Berking Classics; further information can be found on the website classicyachts.com under »Yacht Brokers«, directly by telephone on +49 (0) 461 31 80 30 60 or by email at info@classic-yachts.de SPECIFICATIONS LENGTH OVERALL: 11.80 M BEAM: 4.00 M DRAFT: 1.85 M DISPLACEMENT: 18 T 95 Fotos: ZVG Robbe & Berking Classics read more
