Macarrini 1989

PEACEMAKER is a stunning Auxiliary Motor sail. Built for comfort and not as a ship for training. The interior is finished in luxurious mahogany and stained glass with custom bronze ports. She is spectacular and there is nothing like her on the market. She offers great sailing ability and long range motoring capability. A head turner in every port and designed to sail around the world in royal accommodations. Offered for sale at a fraction of her replacement cost for a quick sale!

The family that conceived the idea to build a “yacht with character” went to great extremes to achieve their goals. The best wood could only be gotten in Paraguay so they bought a substantial piece of that country. They had a whole saw mill disassembled and put on barges. Log loaders and trucks were added to the fleet to be tugged 1500 miles up the Uruguay River. Mr. W had a landing spot for his helicopter cleared so he could personally choose every tree that would go into the making of the AVANY so that it would be worthy of carrying his beloved wife’s name (and her face on the figurehead). The ipe’ logs were milled to manageable dimensions (1 ½ times the weight of oak) along with the finest mahogany, then it was transported back down to the ocean and up the coast to the best wooden ship builder in a land of wooden ship builders. Estaliero Maccarini was chosen to build the largest vessel of his career. His sons (the 5th generation of Maccarini’s to build wooden vessels) would work with him and his whole work force to complete the vessel in 3 years. Engineers designed the transom to open into a large “hangar” to house a pontoon copter and other essential items for their comfort and enjoyment. This makes a tremendous dive platform and dingy dock while at anchor and armor plates the ship’s stern for whatever the seas can throw at it underway. Dozens of molds were made for casting the large arched windows, deck hardware, anchor windlasses, hausepipes, and even door hinges out of silicon (navy) bronze, everything bearing the name Avany. “They broke the mold when they made her” was never truer.

The beveled glass in the windows (1/2” thick laminated safety glass) and many stained glass mosaics adorning the state rooms, salon, (and even head doors) all speak loudly of the exacting detail that went into the planning of this most unique vessel.

The up to date navigation equipment is even set into a huge wooden console with large spoked wheel so as not to take away from the feeling of wealth from another age. The modern and the timeless beauty are blended perfectly into a vessel that is only 25 years old and built to last another century.
