MEET KOH - I - NOOR

C&C 61 Kohinoor This custom C&C 61 was originally built for Herbert Von Karajon, the conductor of the Berlin Orchestra. The original name of this yacht was "HELISARA" and was extensively raced in the Mediterranean. She was sold to a French admiralty lawyer who continued racing her in the Mediterranean. The current owner purchased this yacht in Jan 1984 and sailed her at that time across the Atlantic to Antigua. It was raced in Antigua race week1984 and then sailed north to Bermuda and finally to the great lakes, Kohinoor was raced occasionally in the lakes until 1992 at which time it underwent a 10-year refurbishment where nearly everything was upgraded or replaced. It went back into the lakes fall of 2002 and shipped to Seattle in the fall of 2003. It underwent complete repaint of topsides and bottom at that time and was moored at Roche Harbor in 2004, It remained at Roche until 2006 when it was again put on the hard until fall of 2010.There has been more than $1,200,000 spent on the complete refurbishment of this fine yacht. It is only with great sacrifice that this yacht is now for sale. The design was originally commissioned by Tom Fisher of Detroit whose object was a fast cruiser capable of handling the 12 meters of the day on a boat-for-boat basis. Specifically, he had ideas of being consistently first to finish in New York Yacht Club cruises, which of course meant getting there ahead ofthe 12's. However, since his home waters were to be Lake St. Clair, he imposed the stringent draft restriction of eight feet. In the longer term, he had hoped to campaign the yacht internationally - hence her name. Mr. Fisher did not proceed with construction as crew "complications" set in. At that time (1969), this firm, C&C Yachts Limited, was being"assembled" from four small firms and we took the decision to go ahead with tooling for the 61 - to the best of my knowledge the largest production fiberglass boat of the time. This hull has 15 layers of fiberglass with double balsa core in stressed areas. As one of the earliest maxi racers, the hull is extremely substantial. All of the thru hull fittings have been replaced with cast bronze/SS ball valves. The bottom has been completely sand blasted and sealed withepoxy 2001/2002, then faired and painted, the last bottom paint applied Spring 2023. An extra-large grounding plate has been installed.

An 8kw Westerbeke generator was added in 1995. This is also diesel. Both engines are in a completely redone engine compartment which has been extremely well insulated and have a Reverso oil change system as well as a halon fire system installed.
