PSP Southampton Boat Show, 12th - 21st September 2008, Marina Berth 272

Southampton based builder Discovery Yachts brings the award-winning Discovery 55 to the PSP Southampton Boat Show. From the drawing board of world famous naval architect Ron Holland this outstanding blue water yacht is likely to be the highlight for cruising yachtsmen in the Show marina.  

Stepping aboard the Discovery 55 it immediately becomes clear that a wealth of worldwide cruising experience has gone into the development of this luxury yacht.  It is easy to see why it won the US magazine, Cruising World's "Boat of the Year" award. Elegant and comfortable, the Discovery is designed to be handled effortlessly by just two people and has plenty of room for family and friends. Designed to be sailed with minimal effort with all lines coming back to electric winches in the cockpit, she really is the perfect boat for a couple planning a world trip or simply wanting to enjoy blue-water holidays at their best.

The impressive interior design of the Discovery 55 incorporates a raised saloon and navigation area that provides panoramic views whether at sea or at anchor. The navigator on watch can stay dry and comfortable, whilst still maintaining a good lookout from the carefully designed navigation station.  The deep, comfortable and spacious cockpit gives a really secure feel while the cockpit also incorporates a hot tub or "splash pool" - great for trade wind sailing!  

The British built Discovery 55 can be viewed on berth 272 in the PSP Southampton Boat Show Marina.
