Description
Hershines are highly-esteemed, top-quality, classic motor-yachts - built under US supervision and laid-up by hand with ½-inch, solid GRP, to US Coastguard scantlings & specifications. They are exceptionally sea-kindly and also afford easy handling/manoeuvring. Excellent for blue-water passage-making. Extremely comfortable live-aboards, due to the well-designed accommodation lay-out. This “Sunbridge” (by a Grand Banks associated designer) is so easily-handled she can be navigated by 2 ‘crew’, or even single-handedly. She was originally custom-designed with chartering in mind, although never used for that purpose – hence the extras over the normal specifications. She is not only exceptionally economical to run, but also has a powerful, though gentle, low-revving engine-torque. Her non-metric dimensions are approx 47ft+ length; 13ft beam and 4ft draught – allowing her to enter shallow bays and anchorages, for which she is well-founded.
