Conceived by multi-faceted designer Alan Buchanan as “a comfortable family motor-sailer that might be easily handled under all conditions”, SPRINGTIDE
is a characterful, able and seakindly teak-hulled vessel that may be the perfect classic explorer yacht at this size. She current efficient and easily handled sail plan was re-drawn by her original designer, and her powerful, low-hours engine installation coupled with long waterline length means that SPRINGTIDE can keep up impressive passagemaking speeds while her relatively shallow draft tucks her into anchorages other 50-footers might have to miss out.
SPRINGTIDE is a brave but understated vessel that has the accommodation to take a family on a wonderful adventure.
