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.
