This is a yacht built unashamedly for going places. She’s not supposed to double as a boutique hotel for the weekend (if that’s what you want, you’re spoilt for choice). With the exception of the anchoring arrangement, which seems like a bit of an afterthought, this yacht is entirely offshore capable, from the robust locker catches to the screwed-down cabin sole. Everything, including the finish, exudes quality, tradition and experience. The cockpit is designed with short-handed sailing in mind, fiddles and lockers keep everything where it should be in a seaway. She’d happily take you anywhere you want to go (1.8m draught permitting), and you’d have fun getting there, too.
