Exquisite 52-Metre Schooner Dona Francisca Witnesses $2.8 Million Discount: Get the Ultimate Sailing Experience

The exquisite schooner Dona Francisca, revered as one of the largest carbon fibre sailing yachts ever crafted, has witnessed a stellar price markdown of $2,800,000 on its sales listing with Jochen Brill of Northrop & Johnson. Launched in 2014 by Astilleros Buquebus in Uruguay, this classically styled spectacle was meticulously designed by Javier Soto Acebal for a seasoned owner with a deep-rooted passion for sailing.

Conceived as a vessel for not just leisure but comfortable long-distance cruising, Dona Francisca naturally couples traditional aesthetics with contemporary efficiency. Her owners committed to a comprehensive refit in 2024 that modernized her top-to-bottom—from aesthetic carpentry and rigging to a full paint job and in-depth maintenance.

As with everything on this remarkable yacht, the interior takes the skillful combination of traditional and modern to another level. Warm, sophisticated, and adorned with mahogany panelling—each element harmoniously contributes to its ambiance. Classically inspired features, including beautiful deck prisms for natural lighting and timeless lamps, illuminate the main saloon and formal dining area, fostering a homely atmosphere aboard.

Since its listing in February 2024, the yacht has had just one owner. The RINA classed sailing yacht for sale can accomplish speeds up to 17 knots under sail and cruises comfortably at 10 knots when powered up. She claims an impressive 6,700-nautical-mile passage from South America to the Mediterranean, reaffirming her range and adept handling capabilities. With manoeuvrability enhanced by a large rudder and two Maxpower R600 thrusters, the yacht proves her worth in navigating the open sea with consummate ease. Dona Francisca, currently berthed in Valencia, Spain awaits her next adventurous owner.
