'Mintaka' is a classic long-keeled double-ended cruising yacht of the most traditional lines. She is a very comfortable and surprisingly fast yacht with such appealing lines. Wide side decks, bordered by 7'' high bulwarks afford safe and easy movement and deck work forward. Built safely and simply, items such as the bronze worm drive steering highlight this yacht's strength and integrity. She had a complete refurb in 2013, inside and out. Topsides, decks and coachroof repainted. The interior was re-worked, the forepeak converted from a workshop to a new double cabin and all interior paint and varnish renewed. Then in 2020 she had a complete bottom job, and in 2017 the hull taken right back to bare steel.  Now in 2021 she has recently received another good refit.
