Overview

About this vessel

Design n 6 505 A of G.L. Watson Office in 1928, JULIETTE was masterly built by Alexander Robertson & Sons of Sandbank in Scotland with yard number 180. 20 metres on deck, with a 15 metre on water line, this extraordinary sailing yacht is one of the last Gaff Cutters built in Scotland, and one of the nicest classic yachts to take part successfully in International Classic Yacht Races. The keel is a single solid piece of teak on which is bolted lead ballast of 16 tons. The teak deck is still original more than 90 years after construction with the exception of a few pieces and is fastened directly to the beams.

The interior fittings are in varnished mahogany. The interior was restored to its original state in 1992, and can accommodate 6 people in 3 double cabins in the original layout.

To ensure safety and ease of handling JULIETTE is equipped with Barient selftailing winches, 3 of which are electric (1 for the mainsail, 2 for the genoa), the mainsail, genoa and staysail are on furlers. Well-equipped to anchor in safety with 2x 100 m chains of 16 and 14 mm and a powerful 3500W Lofrans windlass.

The Gardner 6-cylinder, 10-litre displacement engine auxiliary engine is cooled by a fresh water circuit circulating with a heat exchanger outside on the port side of the hull. The auxiliary engine is fed by a 400 l fuel tank (refurbished in 2020). The generator set tank of 125 litres and the auxiliary tank of 80 litres, have a transfer pump that can feed the auxiliary engine if necessary.

The stainless steel drive shaft with variable pitch propeller on the starboard side, was replaced by Hundested in 2009.
