98' (29.8m) 'Clarissa' Motor Sailer; 8 guests in 4 deluxe ensuite cabins.
The fulfillment of a dream was to create a vessel in which to cruise the world and simultaneously provide an elegant and comfortable home for all those aboard. The inspiration for Clarissa came from her owners many years of experience and a healthy respect of the sea, which put aspects of safety high on his list of priorities.
The concept called for a ketch rigged motor-sailer of strong traditional construction and with powerful twin diesels, combined with fuel tankage sufficient to give a 3000 nautical mile arrange. There should be a spacious deck saloon with the generous window area and incorporating a second steering position. On deck, there should be a choice of seating areas, for good or bad weather, and in particular a well protected aft cockpit, adjacent to the main steering position. These requirements led Clarissa's owner to Turkey where, through much inquiry, he found a master shipwright with a yard in Bodrum and access to a pool of appropriately skilled craftsmen. Clarissa soon took shape, with oak double framing reinforced by steel and then planked in 50 mm Iroka.
The owner had insisted, from the beginning, that only the best quality materials would be used and soon he was importing 18 cubic meters of selected Burmese teak for the vessels laid deck and cabins soles. Rich mahogany was chosen for what is now the superb a varnished joinery. The yachts construction was supervised by a marine surveyor and all works completed to the satisfaction of the Danish Maritime Authority.
Clarissa's engines are from M A N in Germany; O n a n generators and BASS control boards from the USA; electronics package supplied and installed by FURUNO, Denmark; air-conditioning and pumps from Italy; winches and the entire rig from Denmark and naturally her stereo system is from Bang & Olufsen. Clarissa is waiting to take you wherever your dreams direct.
