Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage is offering the 18-metre G60 Open ANACONDA at a reduced asking price of €260,000, VAT paid. The 2005 sailing yacht is lying at Port El Kantaoui in Tunisia, presenting an alternative to newer bluewater cruisers in the sub-24-metre market.
Designed by Giorgio Guidi, ANACONDA differs from many family cruisers through its open-hull arrangement and substantial internal headroom. The broker describes space reaching 2.30 metres in parts of the accommodation and a dedicated technical area for longer voyages.
A centreboard changes the cruising possibilities
The pivoting centreboard allows the draught to vary between approximately 2.00 and 3.20 metres. That gives the owner the flexibility to reduce draught when approaching suitable shallower waters while using a deeper configuration for sailing.
The precise limits of the installation should be reviewed against the vessel's survey and maintenance records. A lifting arrangement broadens cruising possibilities but also requires specific inspection of the mechanism and surrounding structure.
Four cabins and a working technical area
The layout accommodates up to ten people in four cabins, with a separate area for the galley, workshop and laundry equipment. This division provides room for practical cruising tasks rather than putting every function in the main saloon.
Owners planning extended passages will want to inspect storage and the ventilation of the working spaces as closely as the guest areas. The quality of a workshop is measured by the suitability of its systems and access, not only its presence in a brochure.
Electronics updated during 2024
The broker reports a full Raymarine electronics renewal in 2024 and lists a mainsail, genoa and Code 0 in the sail inventory. Electric winches, a retractable bow thruster and hydraulic autopilot support handling with a smaller crew.
These systems are relevant to operating an 18-metre yacht, but their condition needs to be tested at inspection and sea trial. An up-to-date rig survey should accompany any assessment of the sails and short-handed handling arrangements.
A reduced asking figure in Tunisia
The equipment list includes solar panels, reversible air conditioning and 1,800 litres of freshwater capacity. Together with the variable draught, these support the vessel's long-distance and anchorage-focused brief.
The broker's dated announcement gives the asking price as €260,000 with VAT paid, although offers and availability may change. Buyers should confirm current terms and viewing arrangements in Port El Kantaoui directly with the central agent.
