The Windy 53 Balios, like her sister ship the 52 Xanthos, is unashamedly special - a premium quality high performance Motor Yacht. The combination of Hi-Tec vacuum infusion moulding with a no compromise design brief to produce a soft, seaworthy, efficient hull gives an exceptional top speed of just under 40 knots depending on engine choice and class leading fuel economy together with low noise levels sets new standards in todays demanding market. Also available with triple or twin IPS for ultimate acceleration and handling. The difference between the two motor yachts is that the Balios, with its slightly longer length offers a capacious dinghy garage designed to be large enough to accommodate a jet rib. On the top of the garage is a luxurious sunpad. The award winning helm position is a study in ergonomics. Firstly, unlike most boats in this size range, the view for the helmsman is perfect either when seated or, with the electric footrest operated, standing. With helm and mate's position next to each other, both will enjoy the exceptional comfort of the luxurious body hugging seats. The dashboard layout is clear, precise and impressive and the anti-glare finish - restful to the eye - greatly improves vision in strong sunlight. With space for all the latest electronics this area is truly exceptional: perfect for relaxed, long distance cruising. The Balios also comes with the option of curved stainless and glass doors to screen off the wheelhouse. As these can be opened so that only one third of the entrance is closed, the effect when the large electric sunroof is open is almost one of an open boat; fully close the doors and the wheelhouse becomes a luxurious saloon, light and airy. At night it becomes cosy and welcoming, everywhere Windy's obsessive quest for quality is evident. A wide stairway leads down from the upper saloon and the style and finesse of the woodwork is immediately apparent. To starboard there is a large galley that blends in perfectly with the rich quality feel of the high gloss timberwork and opposite is the saloon - this area exudes the aura of a serious, immaculately appointed motor yacht. The forward stateroom has it's own spacious shower/heads compartment and there are also two luxurious guest cabins one of which has own en-suite facilities. The aft cockpit leads to wide walkways forward with high guard and toe rails; for added security, substantial stainless grabrails abound. The anchor winch system is both neat and safe with the gypsy protected when the safety cover is in place. Access to the engine room is via a large, secure hatch - here you will see a true reflection of Windy's attention to detail, practicality and quality. Take a good look at this area, it's where their boatbuilding skills are self evident. Next time you see a 53 Balios in the water just study how perfect the lines are and how the boat sits in the water rather than just on top. To put it simply - like the Xanthos, the Balios is a premium motor yacht for those who demand and can understand true quality when they see it.

Built in Brixham, Devon in 1908, Golden Vanity has had many roles. A family yacht, racing across the Atlantic, and training young people. In 2020, First Class Sailing took on Golden Vanity. She is now used for RYA courses, holidays and available for private charter. Golden Vanity is a class of sailing trawler known as a Mumble Bee, a 38ft Gaff Cutter. She offers traditional sailing adventures with great comfort below decks. Whether you want to learn to sail or enjoy a sailing adventure First Class Sailing can help. Sail Golden Vanity for a weekend of fun or join a longer voyage sailing along the coast of Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Join us for Falmouth Classics or the Paimpol Sea Shanty Festival in Brittany, France. Sail a classic boat and learn traditional sailing techniques. Learning to sail on the RYA Competent Crew course is quite different from modern yachts. She is all wood and, unlike our other boats, there are no winches on board (apart from an anchor capstan) which means the sails all go up by hand. Plenty of teamwork and a good technique, which we will show you, make this possible. We also offer the RYA Day Skipper course on Golden Vanity. Ideal for those that have completed the Day Skipper on a modern yacht or have some traditional boat experience. Learn the sailing techniques required of a gaff-rigged boat from our Instructor. To find out more head to our website or follow us on our social channels. Please do call or email if you have any questions.

This is one of Queensland's trickiest and most nerve-wracking bar crossings because of its shifting sandbanks & confused seas. We made our crossing with up-to-date waypoints from Marine Rescue, a rising tide, and the flattest swell we could hope for.. 📍 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@sailingami 🐠 Support: (10% goes to marine conservation): https://www.patreon.com/c/SailingAmi 📸 Instagram: @_kayleighbrown 🎶 Music licensed via Uppbeat (paid plan): https://www.uppbeat.io 💬 Got a question or just want to say hi?
