Good day all! Aboard Asperida, youll never need to buy antifouling ever again!

Designed by Van Der Meer, she was built in Wormer, the Netherlands by Cammenga Shipyards in 1967 as a research project for the Institute of Metallurgy of Alabama University.

The goal was to find the perfect material for the boat building. The hull is made of solid 4mm thick copper-nickel alloy UNS C71500, which is supported by a 6 mm frame made of the same alloy.

From 2001 to 2013, completely rebuilt interior. From 2020 to now, brand new installation of electrical equipment.

Asperida is located in hurricane safe Rio Dulce, Guatemala.

It is possible to stay in the same slip after the ownership transfer. It costs $220 USD power per month. There is a workshop in the marina.

The boat is US registered.

Description:

Starting from the bow, the first compartment is separated from the rest of the hull by a stainless steel watertight collision bulkhead accessible through a heavy duty hatch from the deck. It's used for storage of the chain, anchors, sails.

Behind the bulkhead, there is a crew cabin. There are four single bunks on two levels. Under the lower beds there is a large amount of storage. Going aft, on the port side, there is a head with a toilet, sink, and shower. Across from the head, a large storage cabinet.

Next, behind the door there is saloon with a large foldable table and settee which can serve as beds for two people.
