Owner’s Comments

We were very fortunate to take the reins on BLUE HARMONY in 2017 from an owner who had treated her with enormous love and care. She had been very sparingly used and we inherited a yacht which was truly as good as new. The bar having been set, we have tried to look after her in the manner to which she was born, and she has rewarded us with eight seasons of wonderful sailing. After a life of small catamaran racing and summer Mediterranean chartering, we wanted a boat that would take us anywhere, in any weather, in comfort. BLUE HARMONY has never disappointed. Whatever the weather, she just keeps going and many times in the Baltic we passed unhappy crews in soggy cockpits, feeling ever so slightly guilty as we enjoyed our sail. When the sun is out, lazing on the aft deck or sundowners on the pulpit seats are a real treat.

Sailing two handed is effortless, even with just the two of us docking at the end of the day. This makes her great fun to sail with friends and less experienced crew. The standard of fit and finish is as you might expect from such a premium yacht, but we really appreciated just how well the layout, and the systems all work to make living under way and at anchor such a pleasure. Having explored the delights of the Baltic, and brought her back through the Dutch canals, an experience not to be missed, we have tried to explore every little anchorage from the West of Scotland and Ireland, down through France and into Spain. One of the unexpected features of sailing BLUE HARMONY has been the need to talk to admirers wherever you go. She is a great conversation starter.

We leave BLUE HARMONY with heavy hearts, to pursue other adventures on land and have no doubt she will delight and care for her new owners wherever they may wish to venture.
