Ordered at Sibs last year amongst all the doom and gloom, Sunseeker were still getting their fair share of the orders.

First sneeky look at Nick and Teresa's the new toy. (bloody big boat to photograph in a small space)

She's a brand new 'Sparkling' Predator 52. Full Med Spec. as that's where she's off to later. Taking her time but following a similar track to 'Hurricane's' P67 down to S.C. Spain.

The name was one of those well kept secrets, 3D relief stainless chars. with a very individual font. The pic doesn't really do it justice.

The interiors are a no go zone for Rat types that like red wine, I sneeked in to get these pics. Light coloured carpets with a deep pile that could easily make you trip. Every detail of colour trim, fabric and finish was personally chosen by the interiors team. (well Teresa really)

Nick was determined to use his favourite roving fender but I suggested that he inflate that one first! He assured me that size wasn't everything. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Still with a name like 'Warlock' Teresa said it was time to show the girls how to work up a spell to the 'Bubbly' fairy. Once they started dancing we knew we in for a long night. (this was about 3:30 p.m.)

Sunday morning, I took this from the dinghy, Warlock tucked into her short term berth before she leaves for Sant Carles, a couple of berths along from 'Jenny Wrenn'. It's quite surprising how tall these sports cruisers are, sitting next to 'Ocean Tigress' (Squadron 56) she's just as high and dwarfs 'Houston' next door.

We had a great afternoon in celebration mode and we hope Nick & Teresa have as many super trips and memories on 'Warlock' as they have with 'Shere Khan'. Congratulations you guys, enjoy! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
Interesting. Exactly the same interior, engines and dimensions as the Manhattan 52 flybridge model which I guess means it's the same hull. I wonder why deleting the chairs and steering wheel up top suddenly turns it into a 'Performance Yacht'?
Ducks and runs for cover. It's beautiful really. I'm just jealous /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I think you just have! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'm sure Nick will read this thread, he's often around these parts.


Btw. 'Thought you had left the planet. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Warlock looks stunning, but think I'll follow you on the red wine lead, after NYE /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Congrats to Nick and Teresa!

Hey Rog - didn't take you long to sneak into that berth did it!?!?!

They do look in here from time to time but not to post.

Quite a few of the people on here do know them from Sparkes at Hayling Island.

They're well known araound these parts and have sailed and motor'd for years in the UK and Med. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
If any of you thought that buying a boat like 'Warlock' is very matter of fact, you can be assured that it certainly aint.

Three recent classy boats are Hurricane's P67, JFM's Squaddy 58, this Predator, 'Warlock' an even Magnum's Predator last year. All of these owners became fairly excited confirming specs. and looking forward to taking delivery.

Last week Nick said he hadn't stopped grinning since picking her up and this evening, I spoke to Teresa and she couldn't believe the interest in their new boat and asked me to pass on a big thank you for all the 'lovely comments and compliments' about 'Warlock'.

So there you are, "Thanks you all" from Teresa.

Truth is, /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif boats make /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif threads! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
