DERECKTOR Performance Sailboat For Sale

GITANA was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in 2000 by Director Shipyards as an extremely fast sailing yacht, with simple sailhandling systems and absolute comfort on deck and below.  These goals were well accomplished in her original design, then under her present ownership the yacht has had an extensive refit that included a completely new cockpit design and also put all systems; machinery, paint and soft furnishings into top condition.

In 2008 GITANA received a complete re-design of her cockpit arrangement, expanding the on deck seating aft and outboard to enlarge the guest cockpit and dining areas.  Both helm stations were re-worked to include navigation equipment at each, which allows clear thoroughfare to the afterdeck and opening transom steps, aft.  The result is an extremely comfortable area forward, with a teak drop leaf dining table to port that seats six, with a drinks refrigerator below.  To starboard is a second settee with coffee table.  The entire area is protected from the sun and elements by a new bimini with integral lighting and full side curtains when desired.

The Master Cabin is located aft of the pilothouse to port,   with one queen size berth with drawers and cabinet storage below on both sides. Inboard there are two hanging lockers forward and aft of a mirrored vanity with desk and drawers below, and a third hanging locker aft. There is a full-length bureau/cabinet outboard, with drawers below and lockers forward and aft, plus a hull port light with black out curtain.   The Owner's ensuite head has an Avonite sink , with cabinet that has lockers and drawers below, W.C,  bidet,  mirrored medicine cabinet above, and a shower stall with lockers inboard with hull port light.
