SAILING YACHT GANESH

Yacht name is Ganesh. Country of Registration Poland. Built in: Italy, at the CCYD Venice shipyard.

Ganesh is a classic ketch with an additional American jib sail. All sails, except the last one, are on furling systems. It is equipped with two hydraulic and one electric winch. A spinnaker is also available. The yacht features a lifting keel, two engines, and a wheelhouse. There are two control centres: one in the wheelhouse and another in the cockpit. The vessel is steered with two hydraulic wheels. Navigation equipment includes Furuno systems and an autopilot. The yacht is also equipped with a marine generator. Electrical networks onboard operate at 220V, 24V, and 12V. Solar panels are installed on the arch.

The yacht has three cabins accessible through the salon and an additional crew cabin in the bow with a separate deck hatch.

Ganesh is a serious, heavy vessel designed for comfortable cruising and seamanship training. It offers a unique experience and hands-on maritime practice. This is an opportunity to test yourself and appreciate the capabilities of a true sailing yacht—one that stands apart from today’s mainstream models, which prioritize cost-cutting with thin fiberglass hulls and minimal, simplified equipment for the sake of manufacturers and charter companies.

On Ganesh, everything is built to last. This is a yacht of a different level of reliability and comfort. It has already completed a circumnavigation and is ready to embark on another. As a robust, dependable, ocean-class yacht, it is capable of handling any distance and latitude reachable by sea.
