Williams & Smithells leapt at the opportunity to take on a real
long distance comfortable cruiser with a great level of equipment
available to ensure any new owner a hassle free, enjoyable blue water
expedition. Once at the helm the sensation of being in command of a traditional
ship is immediately apparent with her bowsprit stretching someway beyond
the bow yet her Lewmar 185TT 6kW bow thruster allows the helmsman to
easily manoeuver the yacht into a tight mooring when required. A cavernous 7’7” average headroom and lashings of teak immediately
greets those heading down the companion way, a fantastic layout will
comfortably house 6 crew with a further 2 in the saloon if required.
