Denebola | 1953 Herreshoff 58

La Ciotat, 13, FR

About

Classic lovers welcome!

This Herreshoff 58 ketch was built in 1962 by Astilleros Mallorca (Mallorca, Spain) with drawings from 1931. The yacht completed a circumnavigation and a half over several decades with its original owner and his family. She was totally refitted by Charpentiers Reunis Mditerrannee at La Ciotat over a period of three years from 2011 and re-launched in April 2014.


In 2013 the wood above the waterline, Oregon pine, and below the waterline, Iroko planking, was replaced as well as the oak wood for the frame steam and the Teak for the deck. The deck is totally new as well as the superstructure.


Two new SOLE 42 HP diesel engines, stainless steel fuel and water tanks were installed in 2014 followed by all new electronics, batteries and safety equipment. The chainplates and steel reinforcements were replaced by stainless steel.


Main mast and mizzen mast are original as are all the bronze winches.


The interior has been progressively outfitted since 2014 and is now completed. The salon, two pilot berths, chart table and galley furniture are in place. The salon has new cushions and pilot berths have new matresses. The master stateroom forward (queen double to port and single bunk to starboard with new mattresses) and bathroom with large shower and sink. A separate head is to starboard.

The main electrical switchboard and wiring were completed in 2017. All plumbing is operational and includes fresh water pump, hot water heater, hot/cold taps at galley sink, bathroom sink, bathroom shower and exterior deck shower. The yacht is equipped with grey and black water holding tanks.

The boat has successfully competed on the Mediterranean classic circuit over the last 5 seasons with good success. She is a very lively yacht and a certain head-turner at the dock with her elegant lines and cambered rigs.

The yacht completed a small refit and servicing in June 2021 for over 60K Euros: complete maintenance and respray of topsides, full engine and shaft maintenance, new Max Props, new bottom paint, topsides varnish.

We take pride in our happy customers

The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.

— Adam Munder

Our broker Mike Rybas was excellent – great experience!

— Chris Hannant

I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.

The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!

— Allan Morrison

Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.

— Gustavo Machado

The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
