The yacht was claimed three months after its market is negotiated. The Strathisla is more than just a sailing yacht; it’s a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship and luxury. Designed by the renown German Frers, she was constructed with carbon composite by the Finnish yard Nautor Swan and introduced to the open waters in 2009.

Geared for both cruising and regatta setups, Strathisla features an intriguing range of features including a hydraulically managed sailing and furling package, in-boom furling, South Spars EC6 rigging, and an extensive set of North Sails sails. Organized with a semi-raised saloon configuration, Strathisla is designed to cater to short-handed sailing. It also hosts a lift keel that brings down its draft to a manageable 3 metres, paired with twin rudders, and bow and stern thrusters to aid in navigation.
