All seller’s personal effects on board are excluded from the sale of this vessel.

This unique vessel was built as "UZMA", a prestigious ocean racer, custom designed for an experienced Turkish yachtsman by naval architect Fatih Gorbon.
A West System Cold-molded Hull, built with the finest specs in 1995 and launched 1997 in Istanbul.
Converted to a luxury cruiser in year 2000 for Mediterranean sailing with very little use.
With less than 2000hrs of main engine work, a Mexican sailor bought it in 2008 to cruise the Mediterranean, cross the Atlantic and sail it to Cabo in Mexico with a new name BAJAVENTO.

BAJAVENTO is a truly luxurious performance vessel that can be sailed shorthanded easily. Located on the West Coast of North America, this yacht is prepared to go anywhere in the world. Wired for charging and inverting both 220 volts and 125 volts with outlets for each throughout the vessel. Originally launched in 1998 as a Thoroughbred Racing Yacht, this 66' custom "one off" raced 3 races a year for two years. 

In 2000, a high-quality custom luxury interior was installed, as well as cruising systems and equipment. Designed and built by Fatih Gorbon in Turkey in one of the oldest quality shipbuilding areas of the world. 

She is professionally maintained, and in excellent condition. BAJAVENTO is a Swan lookalike and is in cruise mode at this time. A competitive racer/cruiser that most crews have not experienced such luxury on such a high performance yacht. She has sailed from Turkey across the Atlantic in the ARC, through the Panama Canal, and into the Pacific. She is regularly double handed by the owners. The expansive decks, lounging pads forward of the mast, and between the aft and center cockpits, covered center cockpit with teak table, and aft driving station make her an incredible platform for cruising in style and comfort. She has had a recent refit that includes Bow Thruster, Mast and Boom painted, Dodger and Bimini, Topsides Hull Paint, Runners, and she has always been professionally maintained.

Over $200,000 has been invested in upgrades and maintenance over the last two years. She is located just south of San Diego in Ensenada, so call ahead to schedule a showing.
