The highly respected British yacht builder, Discovery Yachts is celebrating a record fifth sale in just five weeks of its hugely successful and award-winning Discovery 55 blue-water sailing yacht, completing their order book and build programme for 2010. Discovery attributes this unprecedented sales success to the Southampton Boat Show where the yacht builder is currently exhibiting the Discovery 55 and the stunning new Discovery 67, which made its world debut at the show last Friday.

Commenting, Discovery Yachts Managing Director Nigel Stuart said, “The sale of our 5th Discovery 55 in as many weeks is testament to the quality and design of these craft, which are built by a highly skilled workforce at our Marchwood production facility in Southampton. In spite of the current challenging market conditions, we are an excellent example of a true British manufacturing success story and this latest achievement continues to prove that the demand for high quality yachts remains as great as ever.”

The award-winning Discovery 55 is both an outstanding and world-class blue water yacht designed for the most discerning and worldly of cruising yachtsmen and produced from the drawing board of world famous naval architect Ron Holland. The newly launched 67, also designed by Ron Holland, is Discovery’s largest yacht to date and has been designed to be handled effortlessly by two people whilst offering an abundance of luxurious accommodation for friends, family and comfortable crew quarters if required.
