Remarks :
This Princess-designed yacht by Bill Dixon represents a superb example of a well-regarded, comfortable and capable cruising yacht from a respected British builder. Built in 2002 and launched as a 2003 model, she combines solid GRP construction, reassuring sailing performance and a practical, well thought out interior that is ideal for extended cruising or comfortable family sailing.
She benefits from a proven Yanmar 56hp diesel engine, bow thruster, warm-air diesel heating, generous tankage and a comprehensive inventory of navigation and cruising equipment, making her particularly well suited to longer passages and easy short handed handling. The in-mast reefing mainsail, all lines led aft, electric windlass and well laid out cockpit further enhance her ease of use.
Below decks, the cherry joinery, blue leather upholstery, and teak & holly sole create a warm, high-quality interior atmosphere. The two-cabin layout offers a spacious aft owner’s cabin with island berth, a comfortable forward double, and a generous saloon, galley and proper chart table, making her equally suitable as a liveaboard or cruising yacht.
This yacht has clearly been cared for and thoughtfully upgraded over the years, with highlights including a bow thruster, upgraded charging systems, heating, and updated navigation equipment. She represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well equipped, comfortable and capable cruising yacht with a strong pedigree, ready for immediate use.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
