Broker's Comments

FORTUNATO is the first of nine yachts built in the Bruce Farr 72 series, a design recognized for its exceptional sailing characteristics.

For listing and search purposes, the builder has been identified as Southern Wind, consistent with the yacht's commonly associated model designation. However, documentation confirming the original construction yard is not available, and the actual builder has not been independently verified. Prospective buyers should be aware of this distinction when reviewing the vessel's history and specifications.
