Luxury Motor Sailer Dunston-Camber & Nicholson, 135 Feet
This marvelous classic Gentleman's yacht, a Camper & Nicholsons design with truly gracious timeless lines, was built between 1964-66 by legendary Richard Dunston (Hessle) Ltd. This unique charter 135 (42 meter) feet Sailing Yacht is based in Athens and is available for private charters in the fantastic Greek islands and coasts of the Aegean (Cyclades, Argo-Saronic Gulf, Sporades, Doecanese, Crete, Halkidiki-Northern Greece etc) or the Ionian Sea.
She was originally built to respond to the challenge of competing in a Tall Ships race, at a time where no other English vessel existed to enter the race. Under the patronage of the Duke of Edinburgh and with funds of public support, she was launched in 1966 and initially used for sail training.
Under the management of the Sail Training Association, she participated and won many racing awards.
Now, entirely refitted in 2000 and in 2016, makes her presence in the yacht charter market and ensures a genuine unforgettable sailing experience.
HISTORY: She is a wonderful 3-masted 134.5 feet schooner, designed in classic topsail style and created to respond to the challenge of entering a British-built competitor in the Tall Ships race.
From her launch in 1966 until 2000, the ship was used for sailing training, under the Sail Training Association, carrying up to 46 trainees and instructors, and won numerous racing prizes.
She has been entirely refitted in 2000 and converted for luxury cruising, strictly retaining her original beautiful lines and seaworthy nature and now accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 luxurious staterooms.
She is a unique yacht that ensures a genuine unforgettable sailing experience, due to her excellent sailing performance up to 12 knots per hour!
SALON: The salon comprises a formal dining room, a comfortable lounge area and a separate coffee and games corner. All interior spaces, with beautifully inlaid teak and ash floor, are finished in mahogany and wild cherry, with watercolours and pastel furnishings that combine to evoke the elegant ambience of the 1930s. A traditional companionway leads up to the spacious staterooms.
BRIDGE: While the design, rigging and sails are those of an authentic traditional Tall Ship, the bridge is equipped with the most up-to-date satellite navigation and communication hardware. Two powerful Iveco engines mean a 12-knot cruising speed in any weather, while the skilled and experienced crew guarantee your safety and comfort at all times.
