The Cherubini 48 stands as the flagship of the Cherubini Yachts sailing fleet, representing a sophisticated evolution of the acclaimed Cherubini 44. Designed by John E. Cherubini and built in Delran, New Jersey, this vessel is a testament to the "modern classic" movement, blending the aesthetic grace of the early 20thcentury yachts—most notably the designs of L. Francis Herreshoff—with contemporary fiberglass construction. As a semicustom build, the 48 is rare, often serving as the pinnacle for sailors who prioritize artisanal joinerwork and offshore stability over the highvolume interiors of massproduced Mediterranean cruisers. The yacht is characterized by its exceptionally long overhangs, a lowprofile cabin trunk, and a distinctive hull shape that utilizes a Scheel keel to provide a shallow draft without sacrificing upwind performance.
