LA CORYPHÈNE
LA CORYPHÈNE
Built in 1958 by the esteemed COSTANTINI shipyard in France, LA CORYPHÈNE is a Bermudian Ketch that seamlessly blends enduring elegance, remarkable sailing capabilities, and unparalleled seaworthiness. Initially owned by Alain Bombard, this vessel later evolved into a quintessential example of classic sailing craftsmanship. Featuring graceful lines and exceptional equilibrium, this ketch captures the allure of traditional sailing yachts.
LA CORYPHENE features a sturdy build crafted from iroko and oak, strengthened with a stainless-steel framework and fiberglass lamination. The teak deck radiates elegance, complemented by a sleek blue hull and a white varnished superstructure that add a touch of sophistication.
The boat comfortably hosts up to six guests within its cozy and timelessly styled interior. The accommodation includes a double cabin, a twin cabin with two single beds, and a convertible saloon that can be set up with either double or single berths. The two bathrooms, one of which stands out with its unique "Paco Rabanne" inspired design, offer a touch of elegance and originality.
