Description

Originally built in 1962 as a North Sea research vessel, she underwent a complete rebuild and refit from 1998-2000. The refit was massive and reported costs exceeded 12 million dollars. The boat is a gorgeous yacht that shows outstanding materials and stunning craftsmanship throughout the yacht. The interior wood is exquisite and the layout is perfect for luxurious accommodations.

Refit to be a gentleman’s expedition yacht the hull was flared and painted with Sterling Flag Blue paint. During the refit a new rolled aluminum superstructure was built and installed using bimetal transition inserts. The superstructure is white. Teak trim was added producing the true yacht finish one would expect. The decks were covered with teak and show little wear.

The interior design and layout was designed by an architect while the interior workmanship was overseen by an interior designer. The results are simply stunning. With the finest craftsmanship available, the interior has varnished mahogany wood work and trim, madronal burl woodwork and trim, granite, marble, jade, and exquisite fabrics.

The boat is now available as the owner has finished cruising and is concentrating on business ventures. At this time, she needs exterior paint and some interior soft good rejuvenation to be as spectacular as she once was.

Please call or write for access to an extensive library of photos and a General Arrangement drawing.

Note: this boat is offered in cooperation with a co-broker.
