PULSAR II Yacht for Sale

X73 “Pulsar II” is a fast cruising yacht with unique features and a spacious design. She is the best of all worlds. With her very easy sail handling systems, she can be sailed by two. Alternatively, two crew support the owner. Her 2 double cabins plus 3rd bunk bed cabin layout, as well as 3 saloon bunks,  make her especially attractive.  She is maintained to the highest standards and is just used privately by her current owners. She spent the first 7 years cruising the Baltics and the North Sea, after which the Med and Caribbean. The ‘doghouse’ behind the cockpit, which replaces the more common canvas sprayhood, is excellent protection in colder weather and when making ocean passages. The tall rig combined with the van Oossanen double-wing keel and the typical ‘X hull’ give ‘Pulsar II’ excellent upwind sailing characteristics, reaching 10 knots even in light winds.

Compared to most deck saloon alternatives, the X-73 is designed as a faster, more spacious and safer ship.

Pulsar II accommodates 12 in total. Entering through the cockpit door we must step down and are facing the "Panorama view" sofa arrangement at deck level. This leads to a spacious design that is unique in its kind and which normally is found on larger yachts.

The engine room is below this island type construction that is surrounded by: on port side the galley and starboard the stairs leading to the salon on one side and the aft connection to the cabins and the galley.

Forward we find the salon with a large U-shaped table and two chairs. Across there are two sofas, one of them with an elegant drinks table. The second sofa has a backrest that can be optionally lifted and used as an additional bunk.

Modern and sober Danish design with some classical lamps for variation. All corners are beautifully rounded and designed, in a refined and detailed way that demonstrates the dedication of the interior architect.

All fronts of drawers, doors for working tables and wardrobes have an 8 mm solid wooden capping; the integrated louvers ventilating the same areas are flush. The veneers are light teak with a silk finish.

Forward of the owner's cabin is a watertight bulkhead with a Miele washing machine and the storage for the Gennaker, behind which there are 2 crew cabins and one shower room.
