The Yacht’s Story

Since purchasing the boat we’ve upgraded with Vectran sails, solar, calorifier, new Beta 25hp, new Z Spars mast, Monitor self steering, refurbished nearly the whole interior (heads still to complete). She is currently having the bottom peeled, full osmosis treatment and being refinished with two layers of bi-axial cloth with epoxy, 5 layers of barrier coat then copper coat to finish. She will also be having an International Perfection Pro topsides paint job, new teak toe capping and I’m aiming to do a genuine gold leaf cove line to finish. All local Devon and Cornish cruising whilst we are still both working full time but we aim to get her across the Atlantic and beyond when we retire. We are 100% committed to this boat and have zero intentions of selling her unless extenuating circumstances force us to.
