Introducing CLARIONET — a stunning gaff-rigged schooner and timeless masterpiece, launched in 2009. Immaculately crafted over two decades to a Howard Chapelle design by John Gladden and Wally Roberts, she turns heads in any harbour and is a true treasure to own.
Accommodation for five: a single forward berth with ample shelves, plus an inviting saloon with two double berths.
With a pivoting centreplate, she points well yet can slip into shallower harbours with the plate raised.
Generous deck space makes sail handling easy, and below there’s a fully functional galley, shower and head—the comforts of a modern design.
A rare opportunity to own a vessel that seamlessly marries tradition and modernity.
