The last wooden yacht built by Okazaki Shipbuilding & designed by Akira Yokoyama, the last wooden yacht built by Okazaki's predecessor, but in good condition. The yacht is a cruising yacht with the straight hull shape (commonly known as "Saba Futakata") and flat stern shape, which is a common design nowadays, and the style was adopted more than 40 years ago. In the past, the wine style was the mainstream of yacht design, but Mr. Akira Yokoyama had the foresight to release this style. Recently, even large tankers and the latest yacht designs are adopting this Sabani-shaped hull and flat stern shape. The cockpit is spacious enough for eight adults to sit comfortably, and the 28-foot space is more spacious than the 30-foot class. The inside of the yacht is designed to be a full-flat bed depending on the layout. Even in rough seas, the wooden yacht does not feel the pounding of FRP, and even in headwinds, the stability of cutting through the waves cannot be experienced with today's yachts. The wooden yacht's massive hull gives it a sense of security that is greater than that of an FRP 30-foot class yacht, even in rough seas. The wooden yacht is an antique, but it is also a lifetime treasure that will never be built in the future, and this is your chance to become the owner of an OKAZAKI yacht. The yacht is a hybrid yacht that has the advantages of a FRP yacht while retaining the good points of a wooden yacht and the management problems that are common with wooden yachts.
