Corvette Classique 500 Turbo

Extensive refit Based on the Corvette 32, the improved Corvette Classique 500 Turbo is a truly unique, spacious and fast 10m semi-displacement Flybridge Trawler Yacht that is stable at both high and low speeds and offers an unrivalled amount of exterior accommodation and deck space for her size.   Fitted with the larger engine options her twin 250hp Thorneycroft Hino marinised Toyota Six Cylinder shaft diesels push her along comfortably up to 20 Knots. This model also benefits from a bow thruster for ease of handling and single-handed sailing.  

Her interior is both light and bright with many opening windows. Accommodation comprises an en-suite aft double with access from both sides of the bed and a twin forward en-suite.

New compass for flybridge Owners comments

This boat is in very good condition and offers "Tardis" like accommodation for her size. With almost all work complete she offers her new owner the prospect of many happy hours of trouble-free boating. I purchased the boat in December 2021 following a full survey including lift out and hull inspection. Regrettably illness and hospital treatment prevented further works until late in 2022 when a full refit was undertaken in accordance with the survey report from the time of purchase. Following 12 months extensive work by the spring of 2024 the refit was largely completed. Brokers Comments
