Welcome aboard Magnum, a truly exceptional example of a luxury sports cruiser, presenting in outstanding condition with approximately 550 hours on her engines. This vessel embodies the same level of craftsmanship, refinement, and engineering excellence found across our celebrated line up. Magnum is designed to impress - Her striking lines, impeccable finish, and thoughtful design make her equally at home cruising the turquoise waters of the Whitsunday Islands as she would be anchored off the glamorous coastline of the French Riviera. It’s no surprise that she regularly draws admiration, with many fellow boaters describing her as one of the most beautiful vessels they’ve seen. Stepping aboard, it becomes immediately clear that Magnum has been maintained to an exceptional standard. She presents in near-new condition throughout, a testament to her owners’ deep understanding of the marine industry and their meticulous approach to upkeep. No expense has been spared in ensuring she remains in peak condition, both mechanically and cosmetically. Recently slipped and fully prepared for the season ahead, she benefits from fresh antifouling, new anodes, comprehensive engine servicing, air-conditioning system flush, and a full professional detail - ready to be enjoyed from day one. Detailed service records are available, offering complete confidence to her next owner. Performance is equally impressive. Powered by twin Caterpillar C12 engines delivering 715 horsepower each, Magnum offers smooth, reliable shaft-drive performance - an increasingly sought-after setup for its simplicity and durability. With a cruising speed of approximately 22 knots and a top speed of around 28 knots, she is perfectly suited to both relaxed coastal cruising and more adventurous passages. Equipped with bow and stern thrusters, yacht controller, and a full Raymarine navigation suite, she delivers effortless handling and precise control in all conditions. Life onboard is defined by comfort and capability. The interior offers a beautifully appointed three-cabin layout with two ensuites, including a full-beam master stateroom complete with a king bed and private lounge. A forward VIP cabin and twin guest cabin ensure family and friends are accommodated in absolute comfort. Premium appliances, a fully equipped galley, and a sophisticated entertainment system - including BOSE audio and satellite TV - create a space that feels every bit as luxurious as a waterfront apartment. Outdoors, Magnum continues to impress with a teak-laid cockpit, hydraulic swim platform, and a suite of entertaining features including a BBQ, ice maker, and multiple refrigeration options. A forward sun lounge and dining area provide the perfect setting for long, relaxed days at anchor, while underwater lighting enhances her presence after dark. The inclusion of a Brig 3.5m tender with a 40hp Honda outboard further extends her versatility, making exploring secluded bays and beaches effortless. With an extensive list of premium specifications - including a watermaker, generator, advanced air-conditioning systems, and comprehensive safety equipment - Magnum is a vessel that has been thoughtfully equipped for extended cruising in complete comfort.
Today was one of those days with a bit of everything. It started windy and quite rough. During the night I had adjusted the sails to make it a bit easier to sleep, which helped, but also pushed us a little off course. Worth it for the rest. The tricky part is the wind is coming from exactly where we want to go. So the options were basically southeast, or northwest… none of them ideal. Anything with south or west in it feels wrong right now, but that’s what we had to work with. So we zigzagged a bit. Back and forth, trying to gain something, but not really making much headway. At least we were moving. Then at some point, the wind dropped. And honestly… it felt amazing. A proper break. The boat calmed down, everything softened, and for a moment it was just peaceful. But then it died completely. Which meant- time to charge the batteries. So we did. Had an amazing dinner, got ready to charge again… and then the alternator stopped working. So now the batteries aren’t charging. And the day ends with me back in the engine bay, trying to figure out what’s going on. Not exactly how I imagined finishing the day… but here we go again. 🌊 ⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology. Follow along as I learn, prepare, and chase a dream that feels bigger than me. ------------------------------------------ New videos EVERY 7th of the month ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/classicmara ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/classicmara_/ __________________________ Support me: PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/helgamarielk Vipps: 39088 - Classic Mara Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/griedy1 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/173a9a5e6 __________________________ Affiliate links: Dakota Lithium Batteries: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=79634&awinaffid=2732466&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dakotalithium.com Orca Navigation System: https://getorca.com/?via=classicmara PitViper: https://www.pitviper.com/discount/CLASSICMARA?redirect=%2F&utm_campaign=money%2Bcounters&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=upfluence
