Sailing Yacht · 27,43 m WHITEFIN
WHITEFIN is an exceptional 27.43m classic sailing yacht for sale, combining the refined character of a traditional yacht with the exhilarating performance of a racing sloop. Designed by renowned American naval architect Bruce King and built in 1983 by Renaissance Yachts Marine, this 90-foot sailing yacht belongs to the distinguished “Spirit of Tradition” class. Her graceful silhouette, perfectly balanced proportions and responsive handling reflect a design conceived for both competitive sailing and comfortable cruising. Meticulously maintained throughout the years, WHITEFIN recently underwent an extensive five-month refit during the winter of 2025–2026, preserving her timeless classic character while enhancing the comfort and standards expected of a luxury sailing yacht.

The spacious aft owner's suite features a private sitting area, a desk and an elegant bathroom with a distinctive carved wooden bathtub. A VIP cabin with a queen-size bed and two additional guest cabins provide comfortable accommodation for family and friends.
The main saloon is one of WHITEFIN's most memorable features, offering an inviting setting enhanced by a brass fireplace and a piano. An exceptionally well-equipped galley, featuring an SMEG oven and generous refrigeration and freezer capacity, provides the practicality required for extended journeys at sea.
