A truly unique yacht FLY really is one which has to be viewed to fully appreciate. Built to the exacting requirements of her first owner with a no-expenses-spared attitude her price tag when launched was in excess of £2 million. Fitted out as a mini-super yacht. Now requiring refit following lightning strike, hence price.
With only her second owner since she was launched new in 1991 FLY has proved to be ideally suited to short-handed offshore and blue water cruising in extreme comfort. She has completed several transatlantic crossings, two single-handed. The unique rig design and powerful propulsion and thruster system facilitate exceptionally easy manoeuvring in close quarters; the owner often day sailing in and out of marinas with no assistance berthing.
Built to an exceptionally high standard when new there was a focus on reliability and redundancy of systems from the start; this attention to detail has been maintained throughout her life. All major systems being fully backed up with secondary independent systems.
Her inventory highlights includes:
