More than a classified advert
A transparent history, not vague promises
Rassvet was bought for genuine cruising, not as a floating holiday cottage. Important work has been documented, fixed onboard systems have been tested at sea and faults have been addressed as they appeared.
Continuously maintained
Hull, deck, engine, rig, sails and onboard systems were improved throughout ownership, not hurriedly prepared just before sale.
Three owners since new
The first owner kept Rassvet from her construction in 1975 until 2021, the second from 2021 to 2023, and the current owner has owned and actively sailed her since 2023.
Ready for inspection
The yacht is in Kiel. You can inspect her carefully, review the available records and confirm the handover inventory.
