The Wauquiez Amphora (37 feet) 1979 is a classic bluewater cruiser designed by the renowned Hollman & Pye. Known for her solid construction and timeless lines, this yacht offers an excellent balance of seaworthiness, comfort, and traditional craftsmanship.
The warm teak interior creates a welcoming atmosphere below deck, while the layout includes two cabins, accommodation for up to six guests, one head, and generous salon headroom of 2+ meters.
Powered by a reliable 47 hp Perkins M4108 diesel engine, this Amphora is well equipped for extended cruising with a 225-liter fuel tank and a comprehensive range of onboard systems.
The yacht has benefited from several important upgrades over the years, including osmosis treatment, AGM battery banks, shore power installation, inverter, updated navigation electronics, and renewed cushions and deck equipment.
Her sailing setup features an aluminium sloop rig with Dacron sails, Lewmar winches, Profurl reefing system, stainless steel rigging, and practical cruising additions such as a sprayhood and dual autopilot systems, making her comfortable to handle both short-handed and on longer passages.
Designed with comfortable liveaboard cruising in mind, the yacht is exceptionally well equipped for life at sea. She offers substantial freshwater capacity with three main tanks plus a day tank, hot water system, electric pressure water supply, refrigerator, cooker with oven, heating system, and shower facilities.
On deck, stainless steel guard rails, anchor windlass, swimming platform, swimming ladder, and a new dinghy from 2024 complete the package.
Combining classic design, dependable construction, and practical cruising equipment, this Wauquiez Amphora presents an excellent opportunity for sailors seeking a capable and characterful cruising yacht.
