Description
Edel III – Classic Elegance, Authentic SailingWe present a 7.8-metre Edel III registered in Poland, designed by the renowned naval architect Philippe Harlé and built by the French shipyard Edel between the late 1960s and early 1970s. With approximately 300 units produced, these models are now highly sought-after by sailors who value tradition, pedigree and the pure thrill of sailing.This yacht captivates from the very first glance with its classic, streamlined lines, remarkable dynamic balance and noble handling in all conditions. It is an ideal vessel for coastal cruising, weekend getaways and light racing, combining sportiness with safety.Thanks to its sail-to-displacement ratio and a ballast ratio exceeding 40%, it offers stable, lively and highly satisfying handling at the helm, maintaining control even in fresh winds. Its size allows for easy manoeuvring in ports, small marinas and busy anchorages, making it perfect for both experienced sailors and those wishing to get started with style and character.Key SpecificationsMake / Model: Edel IIIYear: 1971Designer: Philippe HarléRegistration: Poland (POL001992)DimensionsLength: 7.80 mBeam: 2.43 mDraft: 1.30 mDisplacement: 1,600 kg + 650 kg ballastEngineEngine: Mercury 9.9 HP 4-stroke (outboard)Fitted: August 2019Fuel: PetrolCondition: Excellent conditionSails (North Sails)(August 2018 – as new)Mainsail: 7.86 m² (7.7 kg)Genoa with furling system: 18.5 m² (9.2 kg)The perfect combination for lively and efficient sailing.Deck equipment15 kg anchor + 10 m stainless steel chain + 50 m ropeSet of winches: 2 main + 2 auxiliary + 1 on mastBatsystem teak swim platform (84 × 38 cm)Batsystem swim ladder with 4 rungs (148 × 38 cm)Stainless steel bimini with marine canvasA luxury rarely found on yachts of this length.Layout and Comfort1 forward cabin1 quarter berthSpacious, convertible saloon for socialisingAccommodates up to 8 people on boardBathroom with toiletGalley with sink and portable stovePerfect for overnight crossings or calm coastal sailing.Electronics (Raymarine)Axiom 7 chartplotterTridata i50 (sonar + log)Raymarine Axiom 7 charter chartplotterRaymarine i50 depth sounder (S/N 1170077)Raymarine i50 log/speed (S/N 1070012)Raymarine i60 wind instrument (S/N 1270535)Raymarine S1000+ autopilotICOM IC-M330E VHF radioElectrical and PowerSunWare solar panelMastervolt Easy Charge 6A chargerBatman Lite controllerSignificantly improved range whilst at anchor.TanksFresh water: 100 LFuel: 50 L + 3 x 5 L jerry cansWhy Eden III is specialClassic French design with historical valueNoble, stable and fun sailing performanceModern and efficient engineNorth Sails virtually newUp-to-date and functional equipmentIdeal as a first sailing boat with soul or for helm puristsGeneral conditionEden III is a well-maintained sailing yacht for her age, with key upgrades already completed and ready to continue sailing.
