Overview
Extensively refitted in 2017 to enter the Golden Globe 2018 race.
All works were carried out at Falmouth Boat Construction (this yard prepared a number of the boats entered). With a ‘no expense spared’ policy – she is quite special – a ‘Land Rover Defender 4 x 4 of the ocean.
The owner was unable to start the race.
She is now ready for a new owner to take her through her paces of the Southern ocean……or cruise in comfort and confidence.
She sports a refined layout with a water tight bulkhead and many safety systems.
We have many high resolution pictures on file.
The refit cost over £200K and was overseen by a surveyor – reports are available – this is a fantastic opportunity.
