For Sale: 2007 Discovery 55, BIGOUDEN

BIGOUDEN, 2007 Discovery 55 Sailing Video The Ron Holland-designed Discovery 55 sets a high benchmark for the luxury, push button cruising yacht category. The interior layout is brilliant with a raised dinette, pilot station, large passageway galley, full beam aft owner’s stateroom, bunk room, and VIP guest stateroom. Interior design details are by the renowned mega yacht stylist Ken Freivokh. The light maple interior and large saloon windows make the interior bright and airy. A walk-in engine room allows superb machinery access. BIGOUDEN is hull no.19 of this Discovery 55 series. She was launched in 2007 and spent most of her life in the eastern Mediterranean with light seasonal use and on-land storage until November of 2017 when she participated in the ARC rally ending up in the Caribbean. From there she continued up the east coast to Newport, Rhode Island, where she had cruised summers while being professionally maintained indoors at Bristol Marine in Somerset, Massachusetts. Her condition is therefore excellent when compared to sisterships that have circumnavigated as is their wont and capability. She has never been chartered and has always received the best of care. Electronics were updated with a full suite of the latest Raymarine Hybrid Touch displays. She has recently been bottom-painted and is ready for cruising in New England or beyond.

At 2 pm (12 pm UTC) on 21 May, BENETEAU will fire the starting gun of a new version of its renowned BENETEAU CUP, which will be taking place on the Virtual Regatta platform this year. Take the helm of the new Oceanis 40.1 in a 500 nm virtual loop around the Balearic Islands, with the start and finish taking place at our sea trial base in Port Ginesta, Spain. Virtual Regatta is a free online strategic game that is very popular with sailing enthusiasts during races such as the Route du Rhum and the Vendée Globe. Enjoy plotting the best course according to weather systems and getting the most of the boat’s performance. It is a great way to share our passion for sailing, though of course we would have preferred to compete in the water! HANDLE THE NEW OCEANIS 40.1 The BENETEAU CUP is open to the public and to the entire Virtual Regatta community of over 500,000 members. It represents an opportunity to race on board the latest boat in the Oceanis line, the Oceanis 40.1. With an innovative flared hull design, and steps extending over a third of the bow, take advantage of the potential speed below the waterline and stiffness under sail as you race. Equipped with the First Line pack, this new generation cruiser, designed by Marc Lombard, will win over the most demanding sailors, who will find her high performing and a joy to sail! ONE RACE, SEVERAL RANKINGS Since most of your customers’ boats are currently moored, BENETEAU is offering all its owners, wherever they are, a chance to keep in contact with the sea and to review their sailing strategy, by inviting them to take part in the BENETEAU CUP. BENETEAU owners will be able to compete with each other in a specific “BENETEAU Owners” ranking, using a code provided by their dealers. The BENETEAU CUP 2020 is also an opportunity for the Vendée boatyard to involve the dealership network. Our dealerships’ employees will be able to race with their colleagues from all over the world, by registering in the “BENETEAU Network” group. This event is for everyone – the general public, owners, dealers and BENETEAU employees. The BENETEAU teams are already honing their strategy and plan to make life difficult for the participants of this big friendly regatta in the Mediterranean! WIN 3 STAND-UP PADDLES Especially for the occasion, BENETEAU is offering a chance to win 3 stand-up paddles: 1 paddle for the overall winner of the race, 1 paddle in a draw from the first 1,000 boats to finish and 1 paddle in a draw from the first 30 contenders in the BENETEAU Owners group. REGISTRATIONS OPEN TODAY Registrations are open from today, Thursday 14 May on the Virtual Regatta platforms: • On the web: https://www.virtualregatta.com/en/offshore-game/ • On the virtual Regatta offshore application, available on the App Store if you are using an Apple device or on Google play if you are using a device operating on Android.
