1986 Kanter Marine 65 – Location Change

Grabau International is pleased to announce a location change for the 1986 Kanter Marine 65 Aluminium Centreboard Ketch ‘MIAPLACIDUS’ 

From the legendary Kanter Marine in Canada, MIAPLACIDUS was launched in 1986 to designs by Dieter Empacher and built in the finest quality aluminium. Empachers passion for quality, consistency and common sense developed from him time as chief naval architect with Ted Hood’s design group resulted in a hull and deck that is fair, solid and stiff and surprisingly quick.

Her highly efficient keel-centreboard allows MIAPLACIDUS true ‘go-anywhere’ sailing whilst 12.7 tons of ballast ensures that she is stiff and stable to sail in any ocean.

Fully fitted out for comfortable ocean cruising, MIAPLACIDUS has many highights including:-
• Strong, light and stiff full aluminium construction
• Ballast keel with centreboard
• Well-balanced ketch rigged cutter configuration
• Huge cockpit area
• 4 large accommodation cabins plus 4 heads
• 12kw generator
• 30gph watermaker
• Air-conditioning throughout

In her first two ownerships MIAPLACIDUS was used sparingly for just one or two weeks each year, yet professional maintained throughout. Her current owner purchased her in 2003 and has used her for crewed charter and private sailing taking in three trans-Atlantic crossing and extensive cruising in the Mediterranean, taking her ashore every winter for routine maintenance and updates.

‘Miaplacidus’ can soon be viewed in Barcelona – Spain, and will be there until the summer. Priced at Euro 350k VAT paid her full details can be found here
