1983 Cherubini Cherubini 48
Schooner
Boat Type: Schooner
Address: Jamestown, RI, US
Price: $349,000
OVERVIEW
One of the stunningly-beautiful Cherubini 48 schooners. These boats were massively built and are capable world
cruisers, each having been spec'd and built by their original owner, no two are alike. VICTORIA has the master
cabin aft. to port, just inside the companionway. She has had many updates and upgrades, and would benefit from
an owner who appreciates the strengths and beauty of the classic schooner.
"MODERN CLASSIC" SCHOONER:
Her classic Clipper bow, beautiful sheer and staysail schooner rig make this one special boat. VICTORIA is the
original Cherubini 48 staysail schooner, well maintained and and thoughtfully upgraded over the years. Here is a
chance to own a beautifully-built, sea-going vessel with timeless beauty and modern amenities at a fraction of her
replacement cost.
Cherubini schooners have earned a reputation of being comfortable, fast, truly sea-going cruisers. This passage
from the builder's website best explains why....
Perhaps least obvious but most important, the Cherubini hull form (narrow, slack bilges, long keel) means a more
comfortable boat at sea. Carl Adler's Sail Calculator website computes that the Cherubini 48 has a "Motion
Comfort" index of 41. A well known contemporary boat of similar size has an index of 26. These numbers mean that
the Cherubini 48 has slower rolling and pitching motions; the hull slices the water instead of pounding it. Moreover,
the cabin sole is well under the water line and bunks are near the water line, where boat motion is the least. Sailors
who have ventured to sea in a modern, wide, shallow hulled boat will sense the difference immediately. Voyagers on
the Cherubini 48 will arrive at their destination not only quickly but comfortably. The Cherubini 48 design is optimized
to function as a real sail boat at sea, not as a house at the marina.
