COMMENTS: Every detail of this yacht speaks of quality and perfection. From the Philippe Briand design of striking and sleek lines to the elegant and timeless Franck Darnet interior. Her performance and sensitivity mark her out as a racing yacht but her spacious cockpit and social living area balance her out into a true blue-water cruiser. The result is the emerging class of the performance-cruiser, with WHIMSY being the cut above the rest. WHIMSY is in exceptional condition and will turn heads, entertain guests and astound sailors wherever she goes.
