Built in 2015, Spirit R46 'Whisper of Lymington' has been cruised and raced by her current owners for the last four years. A much-loved, family yacht, she has been well cared for and as a result is in excellent condition. Complete with racing sails, covers, safety equipment, and cruising essentials, this is a sail-away yacht.
At just over 14m long with a sleek underwater profile, she is the ideal yacht for fast-paced racing or coastal day-cruising. The most popular Spirit design to date, the Spirit R46 is a development of several years' sailing and racing. With a displacement of only 4.3 tonnes, she is lightweight and easy to handle. She is a favoured choice for owners looking for a competitive racing yacht, a simply laid-out coastal cruiser, or elements of both.
Whisper of Lymington is currently in the UK and is available for viewings
There is currently an active community of Spirit R46 racing yachts in the UK and in the Mediterranean, offering a ready made racing scene. The dimensions and displacement allow her to be easily and economically transported by road or by sea, which opens up cruising or regatta possibilities anywhere in the world.
Built to EURCD category A for winds in excess of F8 and wave height in excess of 4m.

Forward of the mast is the en-suite heads compartment with toilet to port and sink to starboard, leading to the V-berth in the bow. Aft of the navigation station is a large single berth.
