COMMENTS:
DRUMBEAT is an extremely fast and comfortable cruising yacht designed by Dubois Naval Architects. She has long-range abilities under sail or power. She provides exhilarating sailing at speeds up to 23 knots and regularly at 16/17 knots.
There is a large flybridge area, which acts as the principal helm position and provides lots of room for active participation when sailing.
At main deck level, there is a large and well-protected cockpit with a permanent awning for shade, this is an ideal place for relaxing drinks, sundowners or for informal dining.
The main saloon leads straight on from the cockpit, all at deck level and surrounded by glass windows, giving 360º visibility.
