2008 DISCOVERY 55

The 2008 Discovery 55 represents the pinnacle of British bluewater cruising yacht design - a thoroughbred passagemaker built to cross oceans in comfort and safety. At 16.76 metres on the waterline with a generous 4.77m beam and a purposeful 2.23m draft, this monohull delivers the stability, interior volume and upwind performance that serious offshore sailors demand. Discovery Yachts, built out of Lymington, England, earned a global reputation for exceptional build quality, structural integrity and thoughtful deck layouts. The 55 epitomises that philosophy - offering three well-appointed cabins that comfortably accommodate families or cruising couples with crew, making extended passages as comfortable as they are capable. Currently lying in Marsden Cove, New Zealand - one of the finest marina facilities on the North Island - this vessel is ideally positioned for Pacific cruising, whether that means island-hopping through Fiji and Tonga or preparing for an offshore bluewater circuit. With a price reduction now in place at NZD $430,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a serious bluewater yacht from a prestigious British builder at compelling value. Inspection is strongly encouraged - boats of this quality, pedigree and provenance rarely remain available for long.
