Bruce Farr has a well earned reputation for producing superior fast cruising and racing designs.  Southern Wind Shipyard in South Africa is one acknowledged as one of the world's premier quality sailing yacht builders.  DREAM VOYAGER, a 72' performance cruising yacht, is an impressive example of Bruce Farr and Southern Wind's collaborative effort.

Built in 1991, Dream Voyager provides her current and next owner an exceptionally comfortable, strong, fast, well finished fiberglass yacht, outfitted for extended liveaboard and ocean passagemaking.  She is one of a number of Farr 70's build by Southern Wind and one of only two with the center cockpit deck design.  The benefits of the center cockpit are greater interior volume, larger master stateroom and engine room and better cockpit for short handed sailing.  Her first owner sailed from South Africa to the US on her maiden voyage with one mate and the current owner often sails her with only his daughter on board.

An inspection of Dream Voyager will confirm her excellent condition and the quality and ambiance of her exquisite teak interior.  New Maxwell anchor windlass, anchor chain and bimini top and dodger are examples of recent upgrades.  A sea trial will confirm her superior performance in all wind conditions and how easily she handles with all lines led to the center cockpit.  All her equipment systems and electronics are in good working condition and her entire exterior has recently been repainted.  No yacht her size offers more for under $1,000,000 and her final selling price will be less than 25% of her current replacement.  A recent survey is available for interested buyers.

DREAM VOYAGER sleeps up to 7 owners and guests in 3 staterooms with 1 captain's cabin. In addition, there is an extra settee berth in the master stateroom and the salon settees can be used for additional berths.
