A Mojito 6.50 adapted to day sailing
The Mojito 6.50, in its standard version, is offered at a price of 77,667.60 euros including tax. This version includes the linen fiber construction, a lifting keel and a basic layout, without saddlery or saloon table. Mainly intended for day sailing as a dayboat in this configuration, it is necessary to add to the budget for a set of All Purpose sails including mainsail, solent, code 0 and asymmetrical Spi for 9 438 euros, as well as a 2.5 hp internal combustion engine for 1 320 euros, so that the boat is ready to sail. The overall budget is 88 786 euros.
Optional amenities and equipment for the cruise
For a cruising use of the Mojito 6.50, the owner will have to subscribe at least several options:
- An electric kit includes an 80 Ah battery, navigation lights and cabin lights for 1 140 euros
- One of two levels of B&G Triton or NKE electronics
- Reels and Furlers
- A weekend kit (square table and saddlery)
- A cruise kit (stove, sink, water tank and chemical toilet)
The amount of such a version with B&G electronics reaches 98,099 euros TTC.
Other options are also available. They concern energy, with solar panels on the front of the roof or a hydro-generator, on the regulation armament, telescopic legs, a hull color adhesive, the Outils Oce storage in the cockpit or a Mecanorem road trailer with conformators.
A sailboat without comparison on the market
If 6.50 m sailboats exist on the market, they are not legion. The major manufacturers have not been very present in this segment in recent years. In terms of length, the Mojito 6.50 could be compared to a Maxus 22, available from 40,680 euros (including tax) with a fixed keel. But the boats have decidedly different programs, with constructions and performances that are not very comparable. The Bénéteau First 24, derived from the Seascape, is more powerful than the Maxus, but does not offer the habitability of the Mojito 6.50, despite its extra meter, and is less suited to cruising. It is proposed for a basic price of 54,120 euros including tax. It should be noted that neither of these two boats is manufactured in France, unlike the Mojito 6.50.
Looking at the rare scows on the market, it would be appropriate to compare the Mojito 6.50 to the Revolution 22, another sailboat designed by David Raison, built in aluminum by Afep Marine. Its base price is announced at 54 900 euros TTC. Its displacement of 1,6 T against 1,2 T for the Mojito play nevertheless on the performances.
To conclude this comparison, we can compare the Mojito 6.50 to its cousin the Maxi 6.50. The 10,000 euros that separate the two IDBmarine models testify to the difference in construction, as well as the options chosen for cruising, such as the lifting keel and the panoramic roof.
Denis Bourbigot, IDBmarine's owner, jokes about presenting the Mojito 6.50 as the new Muscadet. Like the cocktail, it is unfortunately not at the price of the popular white wine, but boaters will appreciate the flavor of the two sailboats as much as the beverages...
