Boat Description

"KOH-I-NOOR" is a legendary C&C 61 maxi-racer with a remarkable pedigree, featuring over $1.2 million in recent upgrades. This extraordinary sailing yacht, once known as Helisara and launched in 1974 for the renowned conductor Herbert von Karajan, has a rich history of racing in the Mediterranean and global cruising. Today, she offers a rare chance to own a classic maxi yacht that combines modern systems with exquisite craftsmanship and offshore capability. The C&C 61 was designed during the peak of performance yacht innovation, standing out as one of the largest fiberglass production yachts of its era, crafted to be a fast cruiser that could compete with 12-Meters while maintaining the necessary strength for long voyages. "KOH-I-NOOR" embodies this ambition with her powerful hull design, impressive rig, and elegantly finished interior. Between 1992 and 2002, she underwent an extensive refurbishment, with meticulous attention to detail and an investment exceeding $1.2 million, ensuring she is transformed into a contemporary offshore yacht while retaining her classic aesthetics and racing heritage. Since then, she has been well cared for, receiving continuous enhancements, including new sails and electronics.
