Luke Gaff German Frers 20m Recluta

Boat Description

RECLUTA is a remarkable and notable yacht built for German Frers' own use using designs by German Frers Snr in the 1940’s, which in turn were based on the very first RECLUTA built by Camper & Nicholson in 1901. A heritage which is as unique as it is impeccable. The new RECLUTA was built in Argentina starting in 2015 and first commissioned and sailed to the Caribbean and then Europe in 2021.

Vintage Qualification

RECLUTA qualifies as ‘Vintage’ under the CIM rule and she has participated successfully on the classic racing circuit including the Voiles of St. Tropez, Palma de Mallorca, Mahon, Antibes and Cannes Regates Royales de Cannes, and in Santo Stefano, Argentario Sailing Week.

Construction Quality

Built to the highest possible standards by local craftsman Tito Szyka and his small team of craftsmen in Buenos Aires. The level of detail and care taken with the choice of top-quality materials, construction methods and execution is evident throughout. Sailing hardware is stunning aesthetically and functionally.

Specifications

With an LOA of just over 20 metres and a LWL of nearly 15 metres, she is both graceful and capable. RECLUTA has a light displacement of 33 tonnes and is driven by a generous sail plan configured as a fractionally rigged ketch. She has a lifting keel which provides up to 4.50 metres to aid sailing performance and reduces to only 2.40 metres for convenience and access to shallower waters and her mooring.

Interior Features

Her interior is very comfortable and affords a well-sized and comfortable saloon which is open to an equipped galley and a navigation area. She has two separate sleeping cabins, both of which are en-suite, with an additional berth in the forepeak. She could be cruised comfortably with a large lithium-ion battery bank and water maker.
