Menorca's llaüt tradition rendered in modern GRP — the working-boat silhouette kept honest, with contemporary engineering underneath.
The story
The llaüt is the fishing boat of the Balearics: a high, flared bow, a long sheer, a wide working cockpit and a hull built to come home in a mistral. Menorquin began building fibreglass versions in the 1970s, and when that yard closed, the Sastres family — boatbuilders on the island for three generations — acquired the moulds and the name and restarted production in 2010 under the Sasga banner.
What makes the boats interesting is what was not modernised. The semi-displacement hull, the raised bow, the teak-heavy deck and the low-slung profile are all still there, because they work. Underneath, everything else changed: modern resin infusion, Volvo or Yanmar power, contemporary systems and a hard-top or flybridge option. The result is a boat with no natural competitor — neither a trawler nor a sports cruiser — bought by people who want an unmistakable silhouette in a Mediterranean anchorage.
Reading is the easy part. Then you have to decide.
A boat purchase turns on what you cannot see: the real history, the state of the hull below the waterline, how much room there is to negotiate. We represent you — independent of any seller, paid by you alone.
