The Botin 65 "High Spirit" has been built by King Marine (Valencia) and launched at the end of 2015. It's a near sistership to CARO 

Built by the composite artisans at King Marine at the end of 2015, High Spirit is equipped for sale with an inventory that would flatter a superyacht of twice the size. Every thing about the yacht is to the highest spec imaginable: high-modulus spars and bowsprit, carbon 3Di sails and an electronics and hydraulics inventory powerful enough to launch a satellite. And every single element of this boat is today as good as (or better than) new.

‘One of the coolest things we’ve ever done’ is how Adolfo Carrau of designers Botín & Partners recalls the Botín 65 racer-cruiser High Spirit

High Spirit features an all-carbon hull and structure, with a Nomexcored deck to keep the centre of gravity low and sailing stability high, finished off with a beautiful teak deck. Then there is a hydraulic lifting keel to get you in close to the sand plus a state-of-the-art hydraulic drive train to silently but speedily spin the latest Harken performance winches.

Sailing electronics are by B&G, hydraulic management and power by Cariboni, lines and cordage are all by Armare, with a second North Sails delivery wardrobe to keep the 3Di race sails pristine. As we said, the best of the best wherever you look.

Boat is perfectly controlled in the wind, and very easy to maneuver. In a downwind we easily moved at a speed of 20-22 knot with wind at 25-27. All systems are set up perfectly. She was built using the best materials:

  • High Modulus Mast with Deflectors, EC6+ standing rigging, a full range of locks and Hybrid Modulus Boom with Reefs locks from Southern Spars (used only once in a race and three times for delivery, mainly under the engine) 
  • North Sails 3Di sails only used in one race
  • Carbon hull with lifting keel system and two Volvo D2, D3 engines. 
  • Cariboni racing hydraulics with a PLC control system
  • Harken winches, autopilot servos, and other best deck equipment
  • and so on and so forth
