About this yacht
“Mona Lisa” is an 18.5-meter offshore sloop signed by Sciomachen and built by De Cesari using a 5-layer West System laminate construction.
The yacht was divided and furnished with meticulous craftsmanship by Antonio Calzati, featuring top-quality fittings and instrumentation throughout.
Designed for fast yet effortless cruising, she perfectly balances refined waterlines and a powerful sail plan to deliver stable, comfortable, and high-performance sailing. The result is a yacht that embodies the true essence of “happy sailing” — combining speed, safety, and onboard comfort. Survey dated July 2023 available upon request.
About De Cesari. De Cesari was an Italian yard based in Cesenatico, producing custom and semi-custom sailing yachts from the late 1970s. The yard was known for offshore-rated heavy-displacement sailing yachts — boats built for blue-water passages rather than coastal weekending. The 65 Sloop Oceanico was a flagship offshore design of substantial proportions.
Cruising profile. A long-range cruising sailboat — typically four-cabin layout with extensive tankage for fuel and water, sail wardrobe sized for trade-wind sailing, and a deep keel for upwind performance. Natural cruising: Atlantic round-trip, Mediterranean offshore, Caribbean season. Currently lying in Trapani, Sicily — ideal launch point for blue-water voyages south or west.
Layout and capability. 18.52 metres LOA — a serious offshore platform. Four guest cabins typically with a separate crew cabin forward. Deep-keel monohull design for upwind performance; sail area generous for trade-wind passages. Auxiliary diesel for harbour manoeuvring and motor-sailing.
Buyer considerations. A 40+ year old sailing yacht rewards thorough rig, hull, and tankage survey. Standing rigging cycle, mast condition, sail wardrobe age, engine hours, and tankage integrity are the priorities. De Cesari hulls are well-built; service history typically reconstructible through Italian yacht surveyor records and the Cesenatico builder archive. A serious offshore-capable yacht for the right owner.
