Rig types
Sloop, ketch, schooner or J-Class
Sloop
One mast. The most efficient upwind rig and the most common on modern performance and cruising yachts. Large sloops can have very tall masts, which affects air draft and port access.
Ketch
A main mast plus a smaller mizzen. Sail area is split into more manageable sails. Popular for long-distance cruising.
Schooner
Two or more masts, with the forward mast usually shorter or equal in height. Strong presence and generous deck space. Complex rigs to maintain.
J-Class
A small, historic racing class with strict class rules. Original yachts, replicas and new builds to class designs are distinct and should be verified.
Masts, rigging and sails
The rig is often the biggest single item
- Carbon or aluminium mast: age, builder and non-destructive testing reports
- Standing rigging: material (rod, cable or composite fibre) and replacement dates
- Date of the last mast unstepping and full inspection
- Furling systems, winches and hydraulic sail handling
- Sail inventory: age, condition and cruising vs racing sails
- Air draft, and whether it limits access to ports or passage under bridges
Keels and appendages
Fixed, lifting and telescopic keels
Fixed keel
Simple and robust. Draft limits access to shallow anchorages.
Lifting / telescopic keel
Deep for performance, shallow for harbours. Check hydraulics, bearings, rams and the service record.
Centreboard
A shallow hull with a board that drops down. Common on some cruising and classic designs. Check the trunk and pivot.
Water ballast and canting
Mainly on racing yachts. Check tanks, pumps, valves and any canting-system components.
Rudders
Single or twin rudders. Check bearings, stocks and any grounding damage.
Grounding history
Always ask. Request keel-bolt and structural inspection records.
Mission
Performance, cruising or cruiser-racer
Performance cruisers combine speed with comfort for owner and guests. Cruising yachts prioritise range, volume and easy handling. Cruiser-racers and pure racers are built light and may have heavy race use.
Racing history affects condition: ask for regatta records, sail usage and any repairs. Compare yachts with the same mission, not just the same length.
Construction and build type
Carbon, aluminium and composite
Carbon composite
Light and stiff, for performance. Request laminate records and non-destructive testing, especially after racing or groundings.
Aluminium
Common on large custom sailing yachts. Check welds, fairing and galvanic corrosion.
GRP / composite
Typical of series and semi-custom yachts. Check for osmosis, delamination and repairs.
Full custom
A one-off design for its first owner. Comparables are scarce, and documents matter more.
Semi-custom
A proven platform with owner choices. Sisterships help with comparison, but specification differs between hulls.
Series
Repeated models with more comparable sales and easier parts supply.
Hybrid and regeneration
Silent running and energy under sail
Some recent sailing yachts use hybrid or diesel-electric systems and can regenerate power under sail. Check battery age, state of health, warranty and how the system has actually been used. Concept technology is not delivered technology.
Due diligence
How to assess a pre-owned sailing yacht
- Classification and flag status, with survey due dates
- Rig and mast inspection reports
- Sail inventory and replacement plan
- Keel, rudder and appendage inspections
- Hydraulics, winches and deck systems
- Engine, generators and hybrid batteries
- Refit history and any weight changes
- Racing and grounding history
- Sea trial and a sail trial in real wind
Private sourcing
Beyond the public listings
Large sailing yachts often change hands without public advertising. With a clear brief, we approach brokers and owners' representatives discreetly. We cannot promise off-market inventory. Every opportunity is confirmed with its owner first.
Brief us privately →New build and refit
Buy, refit or build new?
A pre-owned sailing yacht can sail this season. A rig, sail or interior refit can update an older yacht. A new custom sailing yacht usually takes several years. Shipyard slots, delivery dates and prices must be confirmed by the yard. Explore new-build advisory →

Sailing yachts: frequently asked questions
How many sailing yachts does Lund Group have for sale?
This page shows every published, active sailing yacht for sale in our database and updates automatically. If none are shown, we can still search the wider market privately.
Sloop, ketch or schooner: which is right for me?
Sloops are the most efficient upwind and the most common. Ketches split sail area into smaller, more manageable sails for cruising. Schooners offer presence and deck space but have more complex rigs.
Is a lifting keel worth it?
A lifting or telescopic keel gives deep-water performance and shallow-water access, but adds hydraulics and bearings that need regular servicing. Ask for the full service record.
Carbon or aluminium?
Carbon is lighter and stiffer, which suits performance; aluminium is common on large custom cruising yachts. Each needs a different survey approach.
What costs most on an older sailing yacht?
Rig and sail renewal is often the largest single item, followed by deck hardware and hydraulics. Check inspection dates before agreeing a price.
Can you find a sailing yacht that is not publicly listed?
We can approach the market discreetly for your brief. We cannot promise off-market inventory; any opportunity is confirmed only once the owner or their representative agrees to share it.
Is Lund Group affiliated with the builders listed?
No. Lund Group is independent and represents buyers. We are not affiliated with or authorised by any shipyard.
