BIANCA NUBA II
The Bianca NUBA II sailboat, available in Barcelona, represents a rare opportunity for those seeking a second-hand boat with a competitive heritage and high-quality construction. With a length of 13.29 meters, a beam of 4.1 meters, and a draft of 2.6 meters, this model offers ideal proportions for high-performance sailing and demanding cruising, combining speed, stability, and comfort on board.
Bianca Yacht, known for its meticulous Danish construction, has brought this unique prototype to life under the signature of the prestigious designers Joubert-Nivelt. Launched in 1985 under the name Anquin’s Two, the NUBA II was conceived as a two-tonner sailboat, adjusted to IOR regulations and prepared to compete at the highest level. Its debut in the Admiral’s Cup places it in the elite of racing boats of its generation. The robust Kevlar fiber structure remains in excellent condition after decades of sailing, a testament to the durability and quality of the materials used by Bianca Yacht.
The maintenance and improvement history over its four owners demonstrates a commitment to tuning and upgrading the boat, both in performance and livability. The last technical inspection of vessels (ITB) was passed in November 2022, and the Hard Racing Hempel hull patent was applied in November 2023, ensuring the operability and performance of the sailboat in Mediterranean waters.
The interior of the NUBA II surprises with its capacity and functionality, adapted to life on board and the demands of racing. It offers eight berths, with a cabin height of two meters, allowing mobility and comfort for the crew. The bathroom includes a shower, sink, and toilet, ideal for both long voyages and daily life in port.
The kitchen is equipped with hot water, refrigerator, sink, icebox, and stove, facilitating meal preparation while sailing. The water system and tanks ensure autonomy on extended outings. The deck area benefits from the quality of LEWMAR hardware and seven winches, optimizing maneuvers under any condition.
Regarding electronics, the NUBA II incorporates B&G instrumentation, with CPU, repeaters, and displays in the mast and cockpit, as well as a B&G anemometer and wind vane. The Garmin GPS integrates data via NMEA connections, complementing navigation information. The boat has three batteries and a charger, ensuring energy autonomy for all electrical systems.
Propulsion is entrusted to a 50 HP Yanmar engine installed in 2008, along with a Gori two-blade propeller renewed in 2018, providing efficiency and reliability both in harbor maneuvers and auxiliary sailing.
The rigging of the sailboat stands out with its aluminum mast and boom, rod standing rigging, Dyneema backstay, carbon spinnaker pole, and a set of updated sails: technora mainsail, membrane genoa, Kevlar jib, carbon genoa II, and four spinnakers of different weights. All these elements reaffirm its competitive character, but also the possibility of adapting it to more recreational sailing, without losing its seafaring qualities.
In terms of safety, the NUBA II complies with category II and includes extinguishers and appropriate equipment. The 25 kg anchor with chain and the suspended rudder made of fiber and stainless steel shaft add peace of mind and control in any situation. The switch to a lead bulb keel with a draft of 2.65 meters enhances performance and stability, making this sailboat a very attractive option for those seeking excitement, tradition, and reliability.
Located in the city of Barcelona, in one of the most dynamic nautical areas of Spain, the NUBA II is aimed at sailors who value history, construction quality, and the potential to continue competing or enjoy long voyages. It is the ideal choice for both racing enthusiasts and families and crews who appreciate the versatility and character of a unique sailboat in its class.
