Overview Milgi represents a unique opportunity to own a legendary racing hull converted into a highly capable, comfortable cruiser. Originally drawn with the sleek lines and swift turn of speed characteristic of the Limbo 9.9, she underwent a comprehensive conversion to full cruising specification in 2013 for her current owner. Her standout feature is her lifting keel, giving her exceptional versatility: she delivers performance under sail while offering the ability to access shallow anchorages, tidal harbors, and creeks unavailable to fixed-keel yachts in her class. You will not find another Limbo 9.9 finished or equipped quite like Milgi. She offers total peace of mind to her next owner, backed by a clean 2024 independent marine survey by Ben Sutcliffe.

This vessel is offered for sale subject to no prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice. VAT, CE and RCD: prices are as advertised for the seller. Unless the listing clearly says so, don’t assume a boat is VAT paid or that its price includes VAT.

Before you buy, ask for and check evidence of the boat’s VAT status and RCD compliance, and take advice if it is to be imported or exported. Buying through a broker: when EUROYACHTS (LARGS) LIMITED sells a used boat as broker for its owner, the contract of sale is between you and the owner, and buying from a private owner gives you fewer statutory rights than buying from a business.
