Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54

Beneteau gran turismo 41, opening hours, meet the lymington team, james douch, tracey phillips, william pickance.

James, Many thanks to you, Tracy and Will for your very professional service. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Take care

Recently sold my motor yacht using the team at Lymington Ancasta Brokerage. I’ve had an excellent experience from start to finish. Given the distance I live from Lymington, the team (James, Charles & Tracey), took great care to help with the presentation of the boat for photography and viewings. Ancasta facilitated a smooth selling process with great communication throughout and helped co-ordinate with Ropewalk (Volvo dealer) a few repairs which the survey highlighted needed doing. Delighted with service and would highly recommend the team at Lymington.

Excellent service with sale of my boat. Kept me informed at all stages from the small friendly team. From listing to completion they offered excellent advise and positive negotiations. Many thanks all of you. Highly recommended.

I wanted to give a huge thank you to the whole Ancasta Lymington team and in particular Tracey and Charles for their help and guidance during the purchase of our Beneteau Oceanis 373. Right from the start Tracey was so willing to accommodate us with timings and generously gave up so much time to answer all our questions and help with the start of the boat purchase, Tracey's knowledge shown through with aplomb. At all times I felt in friendly and helpful hands. During the negotiations Charles was incredibly helpful and professional in dealing with all parties involved and all of the intricacies involved. I was incredibly impressed by the Ancasta team during this time. Post our purchase of the yacht the Ancasta team yet again showed how very helpful they could be by assisting with contact details of all the required people and services required to move the boat to its new home. During this time we had to make some last minute changes and again the team showed how accommodating they could be in light of us being rather awkward. All in all the Ancasta team have demonstrated to me what truly brilliant customer service and focus looks like. They have set a new high bar for their professionalism and ability to help. I'm so very impressed with Charles, Tracey and the whole Ancasta team. I would rate them 10 out of 10 or higher as a yacht broker with bonus marks for making me feel comfortable and confident in all the service that they offered. A massive, massive thank you from us for making our purchase so facile and enabling us to enjoy our new yacht as quickly as possible. Simply fabulous!

I wanted to write to thank you for facilitating the sale of Loon A C on our behalf. I wanted to put on record that you and the team did a great job that exceeded our expectations. I found the process as seamless as possible when dealing with multiple parties, which made for a stress free environment, which surprised me! What I liked the most was that you did what you said you would do and when you said you said you would do it and importantly communicated with me every step of the way. I was not surprised with hidden or unexpected costs and the way you handled the negotiations and the associated style of the purchasers negotiations alongside my principles in regards to transactions were well considered and excellent. You kept the ship steady so to speak! Your fees were truly justified and it felt like a Win Win situation all round...we got a good price, the purchasers paid a fair price and you earned your just reward. Well done and thanks again.

Just a note to thank the team for their help in the purchase Jazz. This was not straight forward since although we had plenty of sailing experience we had little with powerboats. Additionally, the owner was in Birmingham and not able to assist with handover. Your team were excellent in sorting out the issues that we had with the boat and its controls. This was important since we only had an afternoon before our sea delivery back to the East Coast.Our thanks again to the Team.[Lymington Office]

Dear James, We just wanted to thank you and your team very much for all of your help with the sale of ‘Jessie B’ and the purchase of our new boat. You run a very professional and effective outfit. Much appreciated.

James and the team at Lymington have given a really professional service as ever which we are really grateful for. We have bought and sold three boats through Ancasta and each time have received a really amazing and professional service. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them and will without doubt be using them again.

Discovery 55, VELA VEE

Discovery Yachts Ltd., Discovery 55 Built 2003 / £425,000, VAT paid

Broker’s Comments

Discovery 55, VELA VEE is a superb cruising yacht that was thoughtfully specified for long distance family cruising. She has succeeded admirably in this role and has been carefully maintained through life.

The Discovery 55 has been extensively reviewed. Bluewater Sailing called her `innovative and eminently comfortable voyaging home’, whilst Boat International said `the Discovery 55’ is a beautiful boat, soundly constructed out of the best materials and designed to look after her crew, whatever nature throws up. However, none of this is at the expense of performance.

The Discovery 55 was well received from the outset and there are a number of key features that have ensured the yachts enduring popularity:

• The deck layout and sail plan are unsurpassed in ease of handling with powered furling and electric winches, the white sail plan can be managed by one person entirely from the cockpit.
• The raised navigation station in her deck saloon enabling 360 views while looking at the charts/plotter.
• The raised saloon is popular with crew – keeping you out of the elements but in touch with your surrounding and the cockpit.
• A superb seagoing galley with ample stowage, large capacity fridge and freezers and spacious work surfaces with high fiddles.
• Walk in access to machinery in an airy well laid engine room.

Owner’s Comments

We bought Discovery 55, VELA VEE at the end of 2017 and really started to use her with avengeance in 2018 – sailing locally in the Solent and then further afield to the West Country and France through the course of 2018, learning more about the boat in the process.

Our real target in buying the boat was to cruise the west coast of Scotland and we therefore found ourselves headed up the Irish Sea on a cold May Day (and night), finally making our first steps on Scottish soil on a sunny but still cold day. We had a great summer learning more about the islands, the wildlife and enjoying the spectacular scenery.

Our plan for the following year to go across to Norway and up to Lofoten was scuppered by COVID but we still managed to have a few weeks exploring more of the islands once we were allowed to go into Scotland again.

The following year COVID was still limiting travel abroad and we gave up on Norway, turning our attentions instead on the Orkneys, Fair Isle (which was the jewel in the crown) and Shetland.

We then returned down south, passing the outer Hebrides before crossing over to Northern Ireland and Ireland, the Scillies and finally home to Lymington at the end of 2021.

In 2022, we felt that we deserved a bit of sunshine so headed south to the Spanish Rias.

During our time with the boat we have become very attached to it, as happens with boats! Its original design concept, to provide a boat that can be handled easily by two people, has definitely been achieved. Having the space for friends to visit but also to store two mountain bikes and kayaks was also a great advantage.

Over our ownership of the boat we have progressively updated various systems, particularly the navigational equipment.

We have greatly enjoyed owning Discovery 55, VELA VEE and will be very sad to see her go.

WHISPER OF LYMINGTON

LUXURY YACHT FOR SALE

£395,000, UK VAT paid

Built in 2015, Spirit R46 ‘Whisper of Lymington’ has been cruised and raced by her current owners for the last four years. A much-loved, family yacht, she has been well cared for and as a result is in excellent condition. Complete with racing sails, covers, safety equipment, and cruising essentials, this is a sail-away yacht.

At just over 14m long with a sleek underwater profile, she is the ideal yacht for fast-paced racing or coastal day-cruising. The most popular Spirit design to date, the Spirit R46 is a development of several years’ sailing and racing. With a displacement of only 4.3 tonnes, she is lightweight and easy to handle. She is a favoured choice for owners looking for a competitive racing yacht, a simply laid-out coastal cruiser, or elements of both.

Whisper of Lymington is currently in the UK and is available for viewings.

WHISPER OF LYMINGTON AT A GLANCE
