Wow, I think I am in love.

Can you shed any light on why only 490 hours on the mains for a 7 year old boat? Perhaps she was repowered? Also is there info on fuel burn at the 10 knot cruise speed and/or at lower than 8 knots.

Thanks for the info.

[JWY]

Thanks for your interest in High Note. She's a spectacular yacht built with safety at sea as the foremost principle including self-righting capabilities. The current owner is the original one who had her built after years of owning faster motoryachts (his previous yacht was a Westport 106). He planned on doing serious passagemaking to distant ports but the "Admiral" didn't take to the slow mode and therefore the vessel has had little use. High Note has a parttime captain performing maintenance, but unfortunately is in need of a cruising owner. The owner has not provided fuel consumption statistics.
