Lager 65 Custom Pilothouse Sloop

"CROWN JEWEL" is a beautiful example of this highly regarded Rob Ladd designed Custom 65' Pilothouse Sloop from Lager Yachts.

The Lager 65 was specifically designed to combine modern sloop performance with ease of use and comfortable living in an elegant design.  Her beautiful design offers an exquisitely appointed teak interior that features an ergonomic and spacious living space ideally suited to her long-range cruising capabilities, as well as casual overnight stays.

Intelligently designed to allow no hassle couple sailing, helming is optional from either an open air cockpit or from the protection of an enclosed pilothouse at the inside steering station, which allows 360 degree viewing.

She was designed with sailing performance as a priority and she shines.  She is well set up for comfortable short-handed sailing on deck, with in-mast furling mainsail and German mainsheet.  All sails are controlled from the helm via push button, easily managed by one or two crew.  High performance hull shape and construction deliver excellent performance in all conditions.

OWNER'S COMMENTS:

We hear "WOW! Beautiful Boat!" wherever we go and have loved observing the inevitable envious stares from onlookers.  Her aesthetics, inside and out, have, of course, made us so proud.

The unique ability for the two of us to sail alone easily, despite her size, has been a huge bonus and given us much pleasure.

REASON FOR SELLING:

Wants to buy another boat
