Cruising motor yacht P70

offshoreclassicexpedition

Spirit Yachts’ flagship modern classic motor yacht, the Spirit P70, was designed for an experienced motor yacht customer who requested an owner-driven yacht capable of cruising 1,000nm at an average of 18 knots across the North Sea without having to refuel. As with all Spirit yachts, the P70 has been completely customised to suit the owner’s itinerary and criteria. As with all Spirit designs, the interior layout and deck configuration of a P70 can be customised to suit an owner’s criteria and cruising itinerary. The owner outlined he wanted to keep the yacht in the UK and cruise to the Baltic in the summer, so the she had to be capable of undertaking long passages in comfort but aesthetically stay true to Spirit’s timeless style and classical elegance. He liked the design of the existing Spirit power boats, so the design team combined the flared bow and tumblehome stern from the P40 with the 1930s-style of Spirit’s sailing yachts and applied it to a larger motor yacht design. Deep bulwarks were added to allow guests to move around the decks safely, particularly when underway out at sea.
