General

The Shipman 50 was first introduced in 2003 and was the first all carbon production performance cruising yacht. It has been highly acclaimed in the yachting press and won the boat of the year award in 2004. The design principle gives you a yacht with a very good performance which is easy to sail and comfortable down below. The design of the deck and cockpit area is quite unique and allows one person to control all of the sailing functions from the cockpit area. The flush deck arrangement helps to give the yacht its stunning exterior appearance.

Unfortunately due to the loss of the tooling for the Shipman 50 in a fire early last year at the manufacturers plant, the Shipman 50 is no longer in production hence this is a great and rare opportunity to own one of these boats. "Zephyr" is a late 2005 model commissioned in April 2006 and little used. She spent her first season in the UK and last year in Palma. She is in fantastic condition, well equipped and set up for easy fast sailing. She has had full UK VAT paid and is not owned under a leasing scheme.
