17.2m Elite Classic Sedan
With classic-style sports cruisers becoming more popular, Bill Upfold has responded with a 17.2m (57-foot) sedan with traditional lines inspired by the Down East Maine lobster boats.
Bill is no stranger to these classics, having
designed the Espresso 40, now re-badged the Whitehaven Harbour Classic.
The new boat’s design styling features a fine
entry with generous flare, developing into tumblehome aft and a moulded retro-look
transom. Accommodation consists of three cabins and two heads forward.
The saloon features forward-facing seating
with the helm to starboard. Visibility underway is excellent. With the aft galley
to starboard, the large dining area to port opens out onto the cockpit via a
pillar-less electric window and entry door.
A small tender is garaged under the cockpit
sole and the hydraulic transom opens outwards to create a large boarding
platform.
Suggested power is twin 600hp shaft-drives with tunnels. Alternative propulsion options are also offered.
