Featured Boat 88' Baglietto Ketch 1928 US$ 1,550,000 SINCERITY ex. MAUCIAU II ex. ESTER VII ex. JANUA A fine Edwardian lady of elegance and distinction, SINCERITY was built in 1928 by the renowned Baglietto yard of Variazza, Italy, and like any lady with a distinguished pedigree, she is blessed with good bones and unquestionable grace. As evidenced by her lines, she was designed as a swift and comfortable cruiser; her cutaway forefoot and Bermudan rig make her a very fast classic. Her unusually high bulwarks, combined with the reserve buoyancy in her bow and stern, make her exceptionally dry, and her long keel and 85-metric-ton displacement make her steady, easy to handle, and comfortable in heavy weather.   To go below is to step into another time, a romantic era of impeccable taste and exquisite craftsmanship. Original mahogany paneling beautifully inlaid with birds-eye maple, a red-oak parquet cabin sole, bronze fittings, Persian carpets, and unique, well-thought-out details greet the eye and soothe the soul. Unlike the great majority of vessels of this vintage, which have been gutted and had their interiors replaced, perhaps as much as 90% of SINCERITY's original interior has been lovingly preserved, resulting in the warm and inviting accommodations that were one of the hallmarks of quality yachts of her era.
