The highly respected and renowned Camper & Nicholsons yard has been producing high quality yachts and mega yachts since their inception in 1863. They quickly gained the reputation for building extremely long-lasting yachts that combine elegance, speed and excellent sea-keeping performance.

The 58 foot Dances with Dragons is a wonderful testament to C & N's yacht-building prowess. She is a definite head-turner with gorgeous lines. The hard top pilothouse/dodger extends well aft into the cockpit for protection from the elements and blends in perfectly with her overall profile.

Dances with Dragons just returned from a circumnavigation-much of it single handed. The owner reports glowingly of her performance, comfort and safety at sea. She is set up for short-handed cruising with all furling sails, hydraulic furlers, hydraulic Lewmar ST65 self-tailing primary winches, powerful Vetus bow thruster and an excellent cockpit with integrated pilothouse. She has a 524 gallon fuel capacity and her electrical system is versatile with 24VDC, 240VAC and 120VAC ships power. She has solar panels, a 15KW generator and a high capacity watermaker.

Her cutter/ketch rig, along with a furling mule sail, provides excellent sail versatility for any weather thrown her way.

Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own this fine offshore cruising machine. Dances with Dragons is a lot more boat than her price indicates. The owner says if he decides to "go around" again, this is definitely the boat he would want to do it in. Come and see Dances with Dragons for yourself-before the owner succumbs to the lure of the sea and decides to take her around the world again.

Additional

• Dances with Dragons was built to the highest of standards by Camper & Nicholsons and like all Camper & Nicholsons, she was certified by Lloyds of London. The joinery work was top notch and there are an abundance of bulkheads throughout to add to her stiffness and seaworthiness.
• As stated in the electronics section, there are numerous electronics on the vessel that did not work when the current owner purchased the boat. He did not need them so he did not repair or replace them and he does not intend to do so. He circumnavigated shorthanded (and then some) using the electronics that were important to him. The next owner can choose to replace or not.
• There are spares, parts, backups, etc. as to be expected on a boat of this nature.
• She was originally designed with a centerboard which has since been glassed over in the up position. This can be reversed should the next owner desire the centerboard to function. She performed great without the use of the centerboard on her circumnavigation.
