SELLER DESCRIPTION

1982 CANTIERI DI PISA Motor Yacht, Balkan 28 started life as a 1982 27 metre Cantieri di Pisa. The yacht was bought by the government of the Republic of Bulgaria for the general Secretary of the Bulgarian Communist Party and the Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Bulgaria, Todor Zhivkov, in 1982. After the political changes in 1989, the yacht was carefully kept in a Bulgarian Navy Base in a specially built building until 2007, when she was sold by the government to a private company. The present owner moved her to Turkey for a complete overhaul from the keel up. Balkan 28 is nearing completion with the hull lengthened, all new machinery, electronics, electrical, audio/visual, interior furnishings and layout and exterior paint. Millions more than her asking price have been invested in her. The refit is scheduled for completion in April 2009 and Balkan 28 will cruise the Mediteranean until she is sold. The seller will consider reasonable owner financing or leasing terms. Photos and updated spec's will be available and posted in the near future. The shipyard is close to Ataturk Airport, so previews are convenient and welcome.
