NEW SPIRIT MOTOR YACHTS

THE 10 KEY BOATING STORIES YOU NEED TO READ

- 

British boatbuilder Spirit Yachts has unveiled a new 50ft motor yacht. Called the P50 and built almost entirely from wood at the yard's facilities in Ipswich, Suffolk, it will be available in two different versions.

The Sport model is an open hardtop design for warmer climes, while the Coupé has an enclosed wheelhouse making it more suitable for northern European cruising. Both share the same deep-vee hull with a near-plumb bow, hard chines and tumblehome stern. Above the gunwale, they differ in looks but share the same attractive retro-modern styling that has helped establish the yard's reputation for building some of the world's prettiest boats.
