1986 Cherubini 48 Staysail Schooner

Leesburg, New Jersey

1986 48' Cherubini Staysail Schooner

One of the finest offshore cruisers ever built. She is fast, solid, and surprisingly easy to solo and shorthand sail.  She is a Cherubini!

As her name, Antonina implies - She is Highly Praised!

Inspired by the Herreshoff designed "Ticonderoga," the Cherubini 48's are one of the fastest displacement monohull sailboats built anywhere at any time (11 knots on a close reach, surfs at 13 knots!).

Her Scheel-keel design makes her incredibly stable and fast off shore and with a depth of only 5'6" perfect for island hopping and coastal cruising.

Her staysail schooner rig is easy for solo or short-handed sailing without compromising power and grace at sea. She can carry an enormous amount of sail to ghost with the slightest zephyr, and yet still reef down and roar through the strongest gale.

 Features Include:

  • Easily Handled Staysail Schooner Rig 
  • Scheel-Keel  - Fast, Stable - Only 5'6"
  • Sought After Two Deckhouse Design - Private Access to Master Suite

  • Forward Stateroom
  • Mercedes Benz / Nanni 5Cyl 88hp Diesel
