KIWI SPIRIT was originally named DISCOVERY MAGIC and built for the Chairman of Discovery Yachts Ltd who planned a 2-year live-aboard sabbatical.  In this ownership she completed an Atlantic circuit from the UK taking in the San Blas, Caribbean and East coast USA.  She was kept in tip top condition because she was stopping off at various boat shows and exhibitions to be shown off to the world. This vessel received much acclaim in the yachting press.

SAIL best boats – Best accommodation 2011

This beautiful 50ft catamaran is like new and is available at a substantial discount upon replacement cost.  The current owner is a very experienced multihull owner and has spent a lot of time and money getting her up to his fastidious standards ready to cruise the world.  She is sparkling and is equipped with everything you need to go long (or short) distance cruising and live aboard, right down to the corkscrew.  New sails, new batteries, new paint job and new bits everywhere with most of it having little or no use since commissioning. The only reason for sale is a change in circumstances due a terminal illness. Consequently since purchase she has had exceptionally little use.

KIWI SPIRIT is configured with the Discovery Yachts philosophy of a vessel for short-handed world girdling in both style and comfort and with effortless handling.  Where it has been possible to improve upon the original specification then the current owner has done so - with no expense spared!  He has used his vast experience to improve on something that was already very, very good.

KIWI SPIRIT is fully equipped and truly ready for “the off”.   She is essentially a turn-key proposition. All the re-fitting and expense has been done and most importantly she is “fully sorted”. The high specification speaks for itself. If you were specifying a new catamaran for luxurious short-handed world cruising, this would be close if not on the money!

Having completed a 5-year circumnavigation in a 65ft monohull I reached the conclusion that the ideal vessel for live-board long distance cruising has to be a catamaran. One spends a lot of time at anchor so stability, good visibility and an inside-outside flow are all desirable characteristics. A good dingy is essential – preferably a RIB. A cat provides an excellent platform for a good RIB kept on davits. This makes for quick easy dinghy drop and retrieval. The transom steps on a catamaran provide ease of boarding. All essential attributes for live aboard cruising.

Before purchasing Discovery Magic and transforming her into KIWI SPIRIT, I looked at and tried all the well-known production Catamarans in the size range 45ft to 55ft (and some lesser known designs). All were found lacking in one respect or another - until we came across the Discovery 50. By Catamaran standards KIWI SPIRIT has to be one of the best looking cats afloat. She is much admired wherever we go. The design, fit-out and build quality put her in a different league to all others that we looked at.  By any standards, with all the upgrades and improvements that I have since carried out she would be hard to beat and needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Ease of handling by a retired husband and wife combination was an important consideration. Sail handling is a doddle with twin furling headsails, self-tacking jib and in mast-furling along with electric winches. Good off-wind performance is achieved by an A3, asymmetrical reaching spinnaker, a Parasail downwind spinnaker (Wow, does it work! Who says cats don’t sail fast down wind?) and a self-furling storable Code Zero.  Upwind performance is the Achilles heel of most Catamarans but thanks to a narrow sheeting angle and a large overlapping Genoa KIWI SPIRIT

will go to windward, like a monohull, at a sailing angle of just 35 degree apparent!  This sets her apart from the majority of cruising catamarans.

Reliable engines and a good range under power are also important attributes for a long distance cruising yacht. With her twin 75Hp Yanmar engines there is worldwide service back-up. With her optional long range fuel tanks KIWI SPIRIT has a range of around 1,750nm under power.

Put simply, this Discovery 50 Cat redefines luxury live-aboard short-handed long distance cruising!

Galley:

Gas on board is considered to be a safety hazard and has been removed. Eliminating gas removes the problem of recharging gas bottles and the fact that every country has different gas regulations and uses different regulators and gas fittings. Another benefit has been removal of two large gas bottles considerable saving weight. The former gas locker now provides useful storage for dive bottles, fuel for RIB and dingy equipment.

A 230v electric hob has been fitted. This can be used when connected to shore power (230v or 110v). It can also be used with the 230v invertor when the ships engines are operating. Whilst at anchor the hob is powered by the 230v AC Generator. Since, when at sea, the generator is used daily for battery charging timing can be arranged so that battery charging and cooking are undertaken contemporaneously. A Wallas diesel fired oven was selected because there is always diesel aboard. Oven temperature is thermostatically controlled and operates just like an electric or gas oven.

Rig:

The yacht was built with a single head stay necessitating sail changes between overlapping Genoa and the self-tacking Solent Jib. This was modified in 2013 to a two head stay set up.  Kiwi Spirit now has a larger furling Genoa. Inboard is a furling self-tacking Solent jib. This is more convenient and efficient since as the wind increases it allows the Genoa to be furled and the Solent jib to be deployed literally at the push pf a button - without any physical effort.  The Solent Jib can then be roller reefed as required in response to increasing winds

Unusually, for a catamaran Kiwi Spirit has electric push-button in-mast furling. This greatly facilitates reefing enabling seamless adjustments to the sail plan in response to fluctuating wind conditions. It also simplifies sail stowage and avoids the difficulties of try to pack a large cat mainsail into lazy jack bags. What a joy!

Sails:

Kiwis spirit is set up for ease of sail handling but also with a sail wardrobe that will enable the sail enthusiast to obtain the maximum enjoyment. The choice of sail combinations allows, if desired, for the best performance to be obtained by matching the different sail options to the appropriate apparent wind direction:

·         Furling/Reefing Mainsail – New 2014/15. This Vectran sail was new from Kemp. It was used for only about 500nm but the owner was dissatisfied and it was returned. The top half of the sail was rebuilt using Kevlar weave and the sail has since been trailed once for about an hour and is now excellent. For all practical purposes this sail could be regarded as a 2015 sail.

Note: Original main was fully serviced by Kemp in 2013 and is available as a spare.

·         Furling Genoa –  The headsail of choice for winds up to 18/20kts. New 2015. This Vectran sail is 11 sq m larger than the original Genoa. This is because of the addition of the new genoa furler forward of the original forestay. It has been used for one hour of sail trials and is superb.

Note: The original genoa (little used) was fully serviced by Kemp in 2013, and fitted with a new Sunbrella sacrificial strip. It is available as a spare and can be used on either furler.

·         Furling/Reefing self-tacking “Solent” jib – A sail for close tacking or for stronger winds. Original. This was serviced by Kemp in 2013 and again in 2015. It was also fitted with a new Sunbrella sacrificial strip.

·         Self-furling Reacher/Code Zero – A sail for close reaching. Original and in very good condition. Serviced by Kemp in 2013.
