*** ORIGINAL OWNER + MEMBER OF THE DESIGN TEAM ***
This absolutely gorgeous, custom charter/cruiser/racer yacht was constructed over a period of 7 years with the help of a collection of dedicated and highly skilled craftsmen. Peter Ebbutt, the projects Naval Architect and Structural Engineer, kept construction on its proper path. The combination of German craftsmanship and engineering produced a result that will undoubtedly exceed the highest and very ambitious expectations of her new owner(s).
Testimony by her designer/owner, "This vessel handles beautifully... in choppy waters, high wind and lazy breezes. The boat performs completely balanced with outstanding control. Should the wind gods fail to smile on us, our reliable turbo-charged Cummins power plant propels us to our destination."
The creation of this custom charter/cruiser/racer yacht began in October of 1989.... When the designer/owner looks back at the photos that were taken during the early building phases, "Iââ¬â¢m reminded of what a journey it was, from the first paper drawings, to our breath-taking launch 7 years later, in October 1996."
