ONYX 2

READ LISTING DISCLAIMER

ONYX 2 is a substantial 38.20-metre deck-house cutter-rigged sloop offering an impressive combination of bluewater capability, exceptional interior volume and versatile guest accommodation. Built by Elsflether Werft A.G. in Germany with naval architecture by Ulrich Einemann, she was conceived as a serious long-range cruising yacht with the strength, space and systems to support extended voyages in comfort.

Her robust steel hull and superstructure, broad 8.69-metre beam and practical two-level layout give ONYX 2 an unusually generous amount of usable space for a sailing yacht of her size. The main deck is centred around a large deck house incorporating the saloon, dining area, navigation station, galley and crew mess, creating a bright and highly functional living environment for both private and professionally crewed operation.

Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in six cabins, including a particularly spacious aft Master stateroom and five additional twin guest cabins, all with ensuite bathrooms. Separate crew accommodation forward provides space for up to seven crew in three cabins, supporting extended cruising and full-service operation.

Exterior spaces are equally impressive. The yacht’s broad beam creates a large aft deck with multiple seating and dining areas, while the generous swimming platform provides easy access to the sea and tender. These areas make ONYX 2 well suited to relaxed outdoor living, entertaining and long periods at anchor.

Her sailing specification includes a 51-metre Hood aluminium in-furling mast, hydraulic furling systems and a complete sail wardrobe. Under power, she is equipped with a 600 HP Deutz main engine supported by two 250 HP Volvo Penta auxiliary engines, with a reported cruising speed of around 10 knots, a maximum speed of approximately 14 knots and long-range capability of up to 3,000 nautical miles at economical speed.

ONYX 2 has also benefited from a significant refit programme, with upgrades including a rebuilt main engine, renewed standing and running rigging, new air conditioning, new batteries and extensive steel treatment. These improvements enhance her reliability and cruising readiness while preserving the substantial character and capability of the original yacht.

With her large-volume interior, six-cabin guest layout, strong steel construction, long-range capability and extensive recent technical upgrades, ONYX 2 presents a compelling opportunity for an owner seeking a serious bluewater sailing yacht with exceptional space, comfort and cruising versatility.
