ASGARD: a modern classic ketch with a championship racing record and proven world-cruising range.
ASGARD is a 43m sailing yacht for sale, built in 1993 by Abeking & Rasmussen and designed by Bruce King. This yacht accommodates eight guests across four staterooms and combines timeless style with a multiple regatta-winning racing record.
ASGARD's cold-moulded mahogany hull, sheathed in GRP, was built for long-range strength without sacrificing sailing performance, and her ketch rig and sail plan continue to reward experienced racing and cruising sailors alike. She has had victories at the Superyacht Cup and the Rolex Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, a record that sets her apart among modern classic sailing yachts of her generation.
A major refit in 2021 renewed her systems, engineering and presentation, bringing recent technology to a yacht built on traditional craftsmanship. Below deck, Winch Design's interior makes use of skylights to bring natural light into the salon and staterooms, while a woodburning stove adds warmth for cooler-climate cruising. Her four staterooms comprise one Owner stateroom, one double stateroom and two twin staterooms, arranged for family cruising or a full racing crew.
Currently located in Spain, ASGARD is equipped with a Zar Rib tender powered by a 70 hp Yamaha engine and a 4m inflatable with a 25 hp Yamaha, and offers a range of 1,680 nautical miles at 9 knots. For an Owner seeking a proven, race-winning sailing yacht with genuine long-range capability, ASGARD represents a rare combination of pedigree, performance and presence.
ASGARD stands apart as a sailing yacht that has proven herself both on the racecourse and across ocean passages, backed by continuous investment and a build quality rarely matched among modern classic ketches. For a discerning Owner, she offers pedigree, performance and readiness in equal measure.
