1984 Chantiers Maritimes de Paimpol et Fécamp Via 52

Water tank: 1000 ltrHer hull was built in 1984 but she was not commissioned until 2000, which means much of her equipment and installations are younger than the hull date suggests. She has only had two owners and is now looking for her third – someone ready to explore the world under sail. The VIA 52 model was created for long-distance voyaging and ocean crossings, with a focus on strength, seaworthiness, and long-term self-sufficiency.The hull is constructed in marine-grade aluminium (AG4MC/5083) with 12 mm bottom plating, 6 mm sides and 5 mm deck, providing an exceptionally robust structure. Combined with five watertight bulkheads, this gives a very high level of safety. Thanks to her hydraulic centerboard she combines a shallow draft of just 1.1 m – ideal for exploring shallow waters and anchoring close to shore – with a maximum draft of 3.3 m for optimal performance and stability offshore.Her rig was completely renewed in 2019 with extra-strong dimensions for maximum safety and durability on long passages. Together with well-maintained sails, twin rudders, and a proven cutter rig design, S/Y NINNA is both powerful and flexible in all conditions.Onboard she offers everything needed for comfortable living at sea: three cabins with a total of eight berths, two bathrooms with showers, a washing machine, a fully equipped galley, and a bright and welcoming saloon. For climate comfort she is fitted with a modern diesel heater and a portable AC unit for use in harbour in tropical climates.Self-sufficiency is at the core of her design. With 1,100 W of solar panels, a large AGM battery bank, twin engines with alternators, inverter, and a backup generator, S/Y NINNA has a powerful and modern energy system optimised for long-term off-grid cruising. Combined with 1,000 litres of water tanks and a watermaker, she is designed for true autonomy on extended voyages.In short: S/Y NINNA is more than a yacht – she is a safe and reliable expedition vessel, ready to take her next owner on secure and comfortable journeys across the world’s oceans.LIST OF EQUIPMENTENGINE & PROPULSIONWith twin engines and recently overhauled gearboxes, S/Y NINNA offers reliable and strong propulsion even in demanding conditions.

Three cabins provide eight berths, with a large owner’s cabin forward and two doubles aft. Two bathrooms, showers, a washing machine and a fully equipped galley make life onboard comfortable even on extended voyages. Built for all climates, S/Y NINNA is insulated with 50 mm Armaflex for warmth in colder regions and comfort in the tropics. A diesel heater ensures heating in cooler conditions, while sun shades and a portable AC unit provide relief in hot climates.SaloonU-shaped sofa with comfortable seating on both tacksDouble foldable leaf tableBright interior in light elm woodOpen-plan layout with galley adjacentGalleyStainless steel countertopDouble stainless steel sinks + separate deep draining sinkHot & cold pressurised waterFoot-pumped fresh water and seawaterStainless steel EQUATOR 2 oven with 2 burnersRefrigeration:Top-loading 120 L Frigstar (new compressor 2023)50 L fridge/freezer (12VDC & 220VAC, 2022)Raritan 45 L hot water heater (engine heat exchanger or shore power)Cabins3 cabins, 8 berthsAft: 2 double cabins (1.5 × 2.0 m beds) with shared bathroom/day headForward: Owner’s cabin with large double bed (2.0 × 2.0 m) and ensuite bathroomHeads & ShowersAft head: Vacuum Lavac converted to electric (2024), basin with hot/cold water + manual foot pumpForward head: Jabsco electric toilet (2015), shower, basin with hot/cold water + manual foot pump2 showers: one inside, one on aft bathing platform3.5 kg washing machine (220V, new 2024) in forward bathroomClimateAutoterm Air 4D diesel heater installed 2025 (main saloon + master cabin outlets)Option to add second heater for aft cabins230V “window AC” for harbour use in warm climatesSun protection system (2024) for anchorage in hot climatesENTERTAINMENTMedium-range mobile signal reception (up to 25 Nm) via Yacht Router antennasLocal WiFi network onboard distributed by Yacht Router and Garmin plotterConnection to harbour and local WiFi via dedicated antennaCD/Radio/USB player (noted to attract dolphins during voyages)Colour printer Epson L3250TECHNICAL EQUIPMENTThe electrical system is modern and powerful, designed for long-term autonomy.
