Spirit Yachts take on a stylish, beautifully crafted fast power cruiser/ superyacht tender was bound to be all curves, elegance and performance, and the Spirit P40 concept does not disappoint, with speed over the water complemented by smooth handling and impressive fuel efficiency. But the man whose lifes work has been to design and bring life to the astonishing output of this Ipswich-based boatyard cant always choose the best days to be on the water for himself.Spirit Yachts take on a stylish, beautifully crafted fast power cruiser/ superyacht tender was bound to be all curves, elegance and performance, and the Spirit P40 concept does not disappoint, with speed over the water complemented by smooth handling and impressive fuel efficiency. But the man whose lifes work has been to design and bring life to the astonishing output of this Ipswich-based boatyard cant always choose the best days to be on the water for himself. So Sean McMillan took an open cockpit weekender version Spirit P40 and created in BILLIE a summer house so comfortable that it might be difficult to leave and go home after a weekend on the water and that can comfortably relocate at 35 knots in a hurry and 22-25 knots if not. The P40 design lends itself also to race boat mothership and/ or superyacht tender roles. BILLIE has had her engines and all equipment fully serviced, fresh antifouling applied, and is ready to go.
