Description

Designed for a couple or family to go long range cruising, making safe, comfortable, exhilaratingly fast passages and destinations.

She is a tall cutter rig, built in Sweden at BSI Marine in 2003 as a robust 3 stateroom, 3 head layout yacht accomodating up to 8. She also comfortably carries a compliment of 4 - 6 guests in the owner's party with kids or crew. She is #22 of 25 built.

She's versitile..

This highly functional pilot house/center cockpit yacht is also a 2 MASTERS/HIS + HERS HEADS/2 OFFICES yacht interior with a WALK-IN CLOSET (day head) and WORKSHOP (mid guest cabin) layout with minor modifications. This works extremely well for sailing couples who can work remotely, whether sailing locally or cruising globally. 

Starlink has changed the cruising world by freeing people up from ties to whereever, allowing those wanting to cruise as couples/families have a great new reason to throw the lines! Starlink not included in this sale. 

The center cockpit is where the sailing action happens. Almost all sailing functions lead there for infinite combos of push button sail trim. The sugar scoop transom and deep swim/dive ladder enhance water access, as does the new tender stowed on new davits.

When Bruce Farr and his renowned crew of designers, naval architects and engineers produced the Farr 50 Pilot House, they raised the bar for this particular design. They also heightened expectations for owners, who prize excellent performance under sail, offshore reliability across a wide range of weather and sea conditions, with accommodations that blend extended cruising and liveaboard amenities with meticulously planned and executed interior and exterior designs.

SOLSTICE sailed Cape Canaveral to Ft. Lauderdale, FL in February of '24. Offshore, anchored nights, 2 onboard. Fantastic, powerful push button sailing. Peaceful + exhilarating passages.

A central feature of the interior is the pilothouse/salon/nav station/galley/social area, which is wrapped with safety glass windows for spectacular views and interactions. The raised dining/office settee for up to six is served by a large table for dining and living with close access from the port side galley and nav station. SOLSTICE's starboard pilot house is raised outboard of the conveniently accessed engine + machinery compartment. The pilot house/salon/dining/nav/lounge area is the interior center of where sailing life occurs onboard SOLSTICE. 

The entire interior of the yacht is very comfortable with a large, private master stateroom aft, equipped with a queen berth, leather settee/sofa, deep hanging wardrobes and ensuite “Throne” head with separate stall shower for 2 and hidden combo washer/dryer. The master sofa converts to a berth/sea berth and invites great reads and naps!  

Forward of the salon, 2 steps down to starboard is the roomy full single berth cabin with retractable pipe berth over with lots of good storage. This cabin is convertable into a WORK SHOP/STORAGE AREA. Forward to port is a sun lit day head with Corian sink, well-ventilated, can also be converted to a WALK-IN CLOSET. The forward cabin is as nice as the master with centerline queen wrapped in high gloss & satin mohogany crafted by gifted Scandinavian craftsmen + women with tons of storage and ensuite head + shower. A stainless "stripper pole" is at the foot of the bed supporting the baby stay to the hull + deck.

Without a doubt, SOLSTICE is an exhilaratingly fast sailing yacht, extremely well-built to take the rigors of the oceans. Daily runs in the 200-mile range make for fast passages and exciting sailing. Additionally, when dealing with dicey weather patterns, the extra speed can make a huge difference when trying to avoid bad weather.

She's wired for US and European shore power and has a seamless transfer electric converter.

A couple can take off on her with the full confidence of having a super-sound platform for an exciting sailing life. Accommodations cruising and at anchor are most comfortable, and exude natural comfort and quality. SOLSTICE is standing tall, in very good condition, about ready to go cruising again.

SOLSTICE video coming.

July 2023 out of water survey available upon request.

Available for inspection in downtown Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

If it’s in your DNA, and the time is NOW for you and your partner and/or family to go cruising in a beautifully serious, offshore, pedigreed sailing yacht, SOLSTICE may tick all your boxes!

Construction & Key Features of the Hull & Deck

HULL

The hull shape is a classic modern cruising hull with a long fin winged keel, sharp entry and flowing aft sections. The watertight collision bulkheads and the incredible sail locker on the foredeck are two amazing features that make this vessel a sought after long range cruiser.

The hull laminate of the Farr 50 is constructed with a Divinycell core that is fitted using vacuum techniques. Multiaxial fibers, high-quality isophthalic polyester resins, and two layers of Kevlar aramid create a hull with improved impact resistance and impeccable strength.

An internal bottom grid is laid up over a female mold then laminated into the base of the hull to create a single monolithic structure for additional stiffness. All shroud chainplates are thru-bolted and reinforced into the main bulkheads. Careful consideration for the placement of multiaxial laminates and strict adherence to Farr Yacht Design’s specifications ensures all loads of the rigging and deck fittings are evenly distributed through the hull.

The keel of the Farr 50 is solid lead with 4% antimony and 316-L stainless steel bolts cast into the lead and backed with substantial transverse backing plates. The keel has a winged shape for added performance upwind and excellent stability. The yacht likes to stand up and go sailing.

  • Kevlar Aramid fiber reinforcement integrated into the hull for superior strength and stiffness
  • Latitudinal and longitudinal structural stringers and bulkheads glassed to the hull sides
  • TWO watertight bow sections for added safety at sea and double bulkhead collision protection

DECK

The deck of the Farr 50 is constructed with a Divinycell core, chop strand matting, and unidirectional fibers bonded with isophthalic polyester resins. The deck is mated to the hull with both mechanical fasteners on 6-inch centers through an inward flange, as well as chemical bonding resulting in a very strong hull to deck joint.  The deck is finished with 1/2 inch Burmese teak planking - hand cut and laid in 2022.

At the bow, is a sizeable self-bailing chain locker with segmented chain storage. Aft of the chain locker is a very large, double watertight bulkheads sail locker with a generous amount of storage for fenders, lines, and equipment. Sail locker also has a dedicated automatic bilge pump. At the stern, a full-beam lazarette with two deck hatches provides additional storage as well as access to the steering gear and watertight bulkhead aft. Overall, the Farr 50 has an incredible amount of deck storage! All deck access hatches have Rondal watertight latches and self-bailing drains. The forward sail locker also has a dedicated automatic bilge pump with a high water alarm.

While working on his degree in International Trade at American University in Washington, D.C., he lived and worked on a converted 87' 1916 Canadian ice cutter STRATHBELLE, was Captain of AU’s sailing team, did his independent study project arranging a 3-boat charter to the Bahamas, got an “A” and made money.


After graduation, he sailed from Philadelphia to Paris aboard the 40’ ketch APHRODITE.


From 1976 through 1978, Steve worked at a manufacturing and sales management training program outside of Philadelphia, Pa. This was Steve’s MBA, immersed in all aspects of a 600-employee high-tech mini steel mill.

He jumped at the opportunity to return to Washington D.C. as brokerage and marina services manager at the then-new 400-slip marina, The Gangplank, setting up yacht sales, charters, a rental sailing fleet, and sailing school.


Steve has traveled the world representing new vessel construction and brokerage yachts, inspecting hundreds of boats and builders. Steve is fully conversant with both sail and motor yacht solutions. He was a licensed captain for 25 years and has logged tens of thousands of sea miles. He lived aboard his 48' Dutch Ketch DESIDERATA for ten years and enjoyed a partnership in a 56' Ray Hunt Yacht Fisherman STINGRAY VII. After restoring the last (1990) Ericson 35 MK III sloop, LIL MAGIC, and after being a 2-boat owner, Steve now lives aboard his 47’ Camper and Nicholsons cutter MAGIC HAPPENS with his wife Gina (a yacht charter broker).


Steve and Gina are both experienced submariners. They extensively cruise the U.S., the Bahamas, and beyond. They are avid scuba divers, snorkelers, paddle boarders, and intrepid adventurers.


 

The process of purchasing and/or selling a yacht is personal and usually a significant investment in your life and lifestyle. Steve's collaboration with the wealth of brokers at David Walters Yachts and his deep and wide knowledge of cruising yachts are his DWY multiplier.


Steve’s focus when developing a sale or purchase strategy is, "Listen closely, thoroughly research that market; prepare the buyer(s) with best buying practices; prepare the seller(s) with best selling practices, relentlessly pursue value and purpose for the client. These important transactions should be professionally AND personally managed throughout the process. That’s what Steve does. Hopefully, magic happens, and clients become long-term friends and cruising buddies!
