US Import duty paid
UNIVERSE is a 53ft Schionning G-FORCE 1500C, custom-built and continuously upgraded to deliver elite bluewater performance without sacrificing comfort. Designed for sailors who value speed, agility, and efficient long-range cruising, she has been meticulously refined into a turn-key performance machine.

The current owners purchased UNIVERSE in 2019 and spent a season exploring the BVI and Caribbean. In 2020, she arrived in Fort Lauderdale, where an extensive program of engineering, weight optimization, and premium upgrades transformed her into one of the finest Schionnings afloat.

Built for Speed & Efficiency

Every enhancement was made with precision and purpose:

Hull extensions for superior hydrodynamics
Strategic weight management for optimal lightness
Carbon fiber beams and davits for strength without added weight

Built in the Netherlands by PreCat VOF, her Airex foam-core fiberglass hulls are vacuum-infused with epoxy for maximum strength and minimal weight. At her most recent haulout, she registered only 8.4 metric tons, significantly lighter than most comparable boats.

Premium Upgrades

2023 North Sails 3Di Endurance Inventory - High-performance mainsail, genoa, and staysail
B&G Navigation Suite & H5000 Autopilot - Advanced sailing intelligence for shorthanded or solo sailing
Victron Lithium-Ion Battery Bank & 2.2kW Solar - Full off-grid power capability
Mabru 12V DC Air-Conditioning - Highly efficient, even off-grid
2024 Aqua-Base Watermaker - 17 gallons/hour with auto-flush

Turn-Key, Adventure-Ready

Whether racing offshore or cruising tropical waters, UNIVERSE is optimized for shorthanded handling and thrilling yet safe passages. With her new $699,000 price, she represents exceptional value and a rare opportunity to own a truly elite, custom-tailored Schionning G-FORCE 1500C.
