DESCRIPTION

â€œSea Flightâ€ is a particularly original and well-preserved example of the renowned Fairline Turbo 36. Offering exceptional accommodation for her size, she features two generous cabins, two heads compartments, a spacious deck saloon, practical galley and excellent exterior entertaining space.

She has reportedly been berthed at Lymington Yacht Haven for approximately 33 years and has benefited from regular professional maintenance. A comprehensive service and maintenance history is said to accompany the boat, together with invoices for upgrades including the bow thruster, navigation equipment and heating.

Originally owned by the late Air Vice-Marshal Neville Duke CB, DSO, OBE, DFC & Two Bars, one of Britainâ€™s most celebrated fighter and test pilots.

The twin Volvo Penta TAMD61A 306hp diesels have comparatively low recorded hours and provide reassuring shaft-driven performance. Her solid Bernard Olesinski hull, substantial accommodation and excellent sea-keeping continue to make the Turbo 36 one of Fairlineâ€™s most highly regarded classic motor yachts.

Viewing is highly recommended.
