Pearl 60

[Seastoke]

Cranchi has a much wider audience then Pearl ever had and will have. Similar to the Brit-three in most countries and many do broker good prices.
Then above a certain size boats always take time to sell, because nowadays berthing and maintenance are not cheap.

If marine and yard prices where 50% cheaper boats would sell double.

The Pearl 60 had two problems delamination and seperation of structural grid in some areas. The first to check and be sure it has not you need to do a full hull scan with 3D scanner.
Not all surveyors have that.

is the 48 the same as the 50 ,there was one in Greystones for a good price but the colour was a off white ,it put me off .

Cranchi color is always an Ivory white. 48 and 50 are the same hull, change in layout and main deck and flybridge design.
The important benefit in the 50 is as it has the D9 575hp which give her better performance. 48 Atl is not very fast with 480hp doing about 27/28 knots and cruising 21/22.

I have been looking at the Pearl 80.

Me too A. Iain kindly showed it to me in depth in Cannes. Very nice machine with plenty of wow factor as you step aboard. I think it has a little less hull/interior volume and fuel tankage than I want, and I don’t love the idea of flying to Hong Kong to see the build since I live on planes already. But nice boat and would love to hear your build story if you order one. Sorry o/t

That lower helm is impressive with plenty of seating......unless you're Billy no mates.

As others have suggested, Call Iain at Pearl - I have been looking at the Pearl 80 and asked him the same question about the boat that hit the rocks and his answer was very honest and very credible.

Best boat at Southampton for me. Although slight concern it is too big for mallorca. Hopefully the Pearl 62 will give me what I want when I see it at Düsseldorf. Pearl 80/95 seem to be selling well enough in mallorca.

I am on Mallorca with currently a 58 and previously a 65.

The ideal size for the Calas is about 50 foot. Once you go above that other than the cost it is pretty academic.

The island is in general well served for the bigger boats.

Cala Dor does you stock 24m ok and will do upto about 30 m if you book ( usually the fuel pontoon area for bigger stuff.

Most other marinas I would say are similar. Palma etc do any length.

At 80 odd feet you will not really be excluded from many places as long as your wallet can take the abuse ... in on portals And Adriano for example that abuse can be pretty extreme! I do sometimes reflect on the very nice hotel room I could secure for less !

I was thinking more the calas and over 50 foot. But cant be that bad if you have 58 foot and previously 65 foot. 80 foot might be too big though for easy access to the calas. Pearl 62 could be perfect (bigger flybridge and more bedrooms). Will see once I go to dusseldorf.

Just out of interest, where are Pearl boats made these days? AFAIK, when Pearl started, the early hulls were moulded and fitted entirely in the UK and it was genuinely a British built boat but I'm not sure any of the manufacturing is carried out in the UK any more. Maybe I'm wrong on that

"Today, the tooling and manufacturing work is done in Xiamen, a short flight from Hong Kong on the Chinese mainland.
The boats are then shipped to Pearl’s facility near Portsmouth in the U.K. for fitting out and finishing."

Thanks. I saw jfm's reference to Hong Kong but didnt realise the hulls were moulded in Xiamen. The city is worth a visit anyway and there's plenty of water about in which to test the hulls!

There are really very few rocks to hit in Mallorca.

The Magic Cat got the Portixol rocks as well. The news said they had no idea what had happened. The local facebook forums knew exactly what had happened !

I was in Santa Ponca last year and a newish large princess went between the bouys on the reef. I thought if he is daft enough to do that he probably would not appreciate a bloke in a Willaims telling he had escaped disaster by an inch and a half !

Earlier this month, we spent 5 nights within 10m of the reef in Santa Ponsa.
I will post some pics later.
