1981 Bianca Aphrodite 414

"A modern classic" - hardly any GRP-classic fits this description better than the Bianca 414 and her little sister Aphrodite 101. With the low freeboard, an open flush deck, sleek hull lines, and long bow overhang, the Kjærulff/Elvström designs from the seventies are still timeless beauties today. The yacht has a ballast ratio of approx. 50 % thanks to her lead keel and a ballast of almost four tonnes. Combined with the narrow hull (maximum beam only 2,90 m) and the slender stern, she is a very stiff and easy-to-handle sailing yacht. Reefing is only necessary beyond 20 knots of wind speed.This Bianca 414 is hull number #017, launched in 1981 at the Danish yard Bianca Yacht in Rudkøbing. Since 2019, the yacht has undergone an extensive refit by her current owner. The bottom paint was removed in 2022, and the antifouling including epoxy primer was completely renewed. Among others, a lithium service battery with new charging technology was installed, an inverter was fitted, the navigation electronics were replaced, new sails were added, and a diesel heater and 35 l hot water boiler were installed. The standing rigging was replaced in winter 2025/2026. The Bianca 414 is in indoor winter storage at the Kiel Fjord and can be viewed any time by appointment. Rig/SailsDeck stepped, 7/8 fractional aluminium mastTwo sets of spreadersStanding rigging in rod (new 2026 incl. backstay and runners)Running rigging in Dyneema (new 2021)Running backstaysHydraulic backstay tensionerGenoa furler FACNOR Flat Deck Furler (new 2021)Spinnaker pole (stowed on deck)Hydraulic boom kickerFully battened mainsail ONE-Sails DCX triradial (new 2021)Lazy jacks with lazy bag (new 2021)Furling Genoa I ONE-Sails DCX triradial (new 2021) with reef compensatorFurling Genoa II ONE-Sails DCK triradial (new 2024)Symmetric spinnaker medium/light ONE-Sails approx. 129 m² (new 2020)Running rigging and deck fittings for spinnakerDeckTeak deck on running decks, foredeck, and in cockpitHigh-gloss toe rails and coamingsTwo cockpit lockers below cockpit hatchesTwo lockers below helmsman seat aft in cockpitSteering pedestal with stainless steel wheel, grabrail and steering compassNarrow sprayhood for companionwayCockpit coverGenoa winches LEWMAR 44 2STRunner winches LEWMAR 42 2STHalyard winch ANDERSEN 46 2STSpinnaker winches LEWMAR 40 2Lifelines with bow and stern pulpit and gates to starboard and port side (stanchions and fairleads new 2021)Small attached swim platform in teak and stainless steel with retractable swim ladder (new 2021)Removable Lagun cockpit table (new 2026)Cockpit shower hot/cold (new 2021)Spring cleats amidshipsChafing protection rails with stainless steel profileAnchor lockerLayout/InteriorTraditional Scandinavian interior in mahoganyTeak floorboards with light ash stripesSaloon with two longitudinal sofas at folding saloon table and two hull portsAll saloon cushions in light blue (new 2019)Chart table with chart drawer, storage compartments, switch panel, and console for instruments to starboard aftL-shaped galley to port aft- Worktop in white Corian- Gas stove 3 burners and oven- Electric fridge new 2022- Storage in cupboards and drawersAft cabin with central double berth, two folding pilot berths, locker, two hull windows, and three opening portholesLockers to starboard in passage to aft cabinForward cabin with V-shaped double berth, deck hatch, and white battens on hull sidesHeads compartment on both sides in passage to forecabin with sink, and marine WCLED ceiling lights and reading lampsTechnical EquipmentYANMAR 3YM30 3 cylinder inboard diesel 30 hp/22 kW (engine new 2007, starter new 2025)Engine hours (as of February 2026): approx. 700 hShaft drive with 3-blade folding propeller, shaft bearings, and Bullflex coupling (new 2022)Stainless steel diesel tank approx. 90 l230 V shore power connection with charging cable230 V network with distribution, RCD, sockets (new 2021)Battery charger BOSCH C80LI 12 V/15 A (new 2025)Lithium service battery 12 V/280 Ah (new 2025)Starter battery 12 V/70 Ah (new 2025)Inverter Ective CSI30 12 V/230 V/3.500 W (new 2021)Two stainless steel fresh water tanks 140 l + 80 lHot water boiler ISOTEMP 35 l (new 2021)Diesel heater (new 2024)LED interior lighting (new 2021)LED navigation lights (new 2021)Navigation/Electronics2 x RAYMARINE i70 instrument displays in cockpit (new 2024)Transducers for log, echo sounder and wind (new 2024)RAYMARINE Alpha ) Maxi display in mast bracket (new 2026)Compass on steering pedestalAutopilot RAYMARINE ACU 200 (new 2026) with p70 control unit (new 2024)GPS/chartplotter RAYMARINE Axiom 7 in cockpit (new 2024)AIS Class B-transponder RAYMARINE AIS700 (new 2026)GPS-receiver FURUNOVHF-radio NORTHSTAR Explorer 721Clock, barometer, thermometer/hygrometerSafetyLifeslingFire extinguisherManual and electric bilge pumpAccessoriesMooring gearStern anchorFendersMooring lines
