Description

Sparkman & Stephens 55 The Magic is for sale... This magnificent vessel has an impressive history: built in 1972 on commission for Mr. Martini (Bologna, Italy), the aluminum alloy hull was crafted at the Dal Fiume engineering workshops, following a design by Sparkman & Stephens, with all interior fittings carried out by the Carlini shipyard (Ravenna, Italy). Originally designed as a racing sailboat, it nonetheless boasts the characteristics of an offshore cruiser, featuring exceptional quality materials and uncompromising construction. Over the years, this boat has been meticulously maintained, and despite its 50 years of age, it remains reliable, safe, and comfortable thanks to constant updates. With qualities such as stability at all speeds, excellent sea handling, and notable speed, the Magic is perfect for those looking to live aboard and embrace a new way of life.
