Introducing Capella – a meticulously updated offshore sailing vessel, crafted
for sailors who crave genuine performance, reliability, and comfort. Originally
designed for strength and speed, Capella is perfect for both bluewater passages
and coastal cruising, combining the thrill of real sailing with peace of mind
for safety. Her current owners, who acquired her in Tahiti in 2021, invested
significantly in a thorough overhaul, ensuring she’s ready for long-distance
adventures with the comforts of a liveaboard. From her reinforced hull to new
Dyneema rigging and an upgraded beam and seagull striker after a dismasting,
Capella’s structural integrity offers stability and robustness in all
conditions.
Inside, Capella provides the comforts of home. The spacious galley features a
stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, and even an icemaker, making meal
preparation easy. A 100-liter-per-hour watermaker guarantees fresh water.
Navigating is a breeze with a suite of Raymarine electronics, including
autopilot, dual chart plotters, AIS, and Starlink satellite communication,
ensuring smooth passages and safety in remote areas. Additional safety equipment
includes an EPIRB, deck lights, and fume detectors, offering peace of mind on
every voyage.
Energy independence is key to Capella’s design, boasting 11 solar panels
producing 1800W, a 2000W Mastervolt inverter, lithium batteries, and engine
alternators, making her nearly self-sufficient. The cockpit, designed for
relaxation and practicality, features new cushions, a three-sided awning, and a
swim platform with a sugar-scoop stern for easy water access. For sun
protection, the bimini offers over six feet of headroom. Capella’s
performance-oriented rigging includes a carbon Technora mainsail, self-tacking
jib, and spinnaker, all supported by lightweight Dyneema rigging for strength
and easy inspection.
Mechanically sound, Capella includes a new starter motor, water pump, hydraulic
steering, and Variprop folding propellers. Multiple bilge pumps, fire
extinguishers, and an emergency tiller enhance safety. Built with a solid
fiberglass hull, Capella’s sacrificial keels withstand groundings and provide
excellent upwind performance, with enough stability for beaching when
maintenance is needed. In 2022, her mast, boom, and rigging were comprehensively
overhauled, showcasing her readiness for sea with every joint inspected and
treated against corrosion.
Capella’s proven seaworthiness is evident in her six-month circumnavigation of
Fiji without a single issue, reflecting her reliability and capability for true
ocean cruising. Ideal for families or performance-minded sailors, she is a
vessel that embodies adventure, comfort, and the timeless beauty of quality
craftsmanship.
