This 43’ Laurent Giles designed light displacement cruiser was built in 1988 by West Custom Marine (now Green Marine) in Lymington using state of the art epoxy resin glass fibre construction methods. A fast passage maker which has enabled its owners to extensively cruise as far north as the Shetland Islands and Baltic Sea to the eastern Mediterranean and Caribbean. Since purchasing the yacht in 2017, the current owner has undertaken a “no expense spared” refit with numerous upgrades including new engine, wind / water / portable generators, battery charger, inverter, watermaker, full electronics package, audio system, aft cabin mattresses and much more. Highfield Classic 310 RIB (2019) and 15 hp Yamaha o/b (2020) available by separate negotiation. An extremely well equipped, comfortable and easy to handle blue water cruiser. 2017 survey available on request.
