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.
