AMSTERDAM, January 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Super Yacht Auction, the new auction platform for super yachts (> 24 metres), presents its first global auction: a new Schooner of 100 ft (32,80 metres). The auction, held at http://www.superyachtauction.com will be open for bids until 1 March next, 14:00 h. (UTC+1). The owner of the ship has chosen Super Yacht Auction in order to conclude a fast sale.

Background of this auction

The construction of the Schooner started as a ten year project by a team of technical experts to create a classic sailing Schooner for charters with living accommodation onboard. Due to medical problems of key project staff the project had to be abandoned, and the Schooner is now on auction. Until today over EUR 2.200.000 has been invested in the ship. The asking price was EUR 1.300.000 and the ship will probably be auctioned for an estimated EUR 800.000 - EUR 1.000.000.

Inspection day

Viewing takes place Saturday 20 February 2010 from 12:00 to 18:00 h., which gives potential bidders every opportunity to inspect the Schooner before bidding. Address: Port Camargue, Qai Bonne Esperance, France.
