Cockwells launches first Duchy Sport at SIBS
Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding is to launch the Duchy Sport at this year’s Southampton International Boat Show (SIBS).
The British boatbuilder will also showcase its Duchy 27 and Duchy 35. More than 60 Duchy Motor Launches from the handcrafted, semi-production line have been sold to date. Cockwells says the launches combine the classical lines of the gentleman’s launch of generations past with polished styling and modern luxury. They range from 21ft to 60ft.
The Duchy Sport enables a range of activities and can carry up to nine.
Features include a wet bar, a forward cabin with day heads, an expansive bimini, adjustable aft sunbeds and storage for water toys. Aft steps lead to a bathing platform with a large swim ladder enabling easy access to the water.
Cockwells will also share the design of its all-new Hardy 45 European at SIBS. The boat is currently in build at its Ponsharden Shipyard.
“We can’t wait to launch our first Duchy Sport at this year’s SIBS and welcome visitors aboard the Duchy 27 and Duchy 35 so that they can experience first-hand the artisan craftsmanship, technical ingenuity and contemporary styling for which we are proud to have gained an international reputation,” says MD Dave Cockwell.
“After a further year of exceptional growth and building yet more Duchys, Hardy motor yachts and superyacht tenders for discerning clients, we are looking forward to meeting prospective purchasers and discussing how they would customise their vessels to mirror their personalities and chime with their lifestyles.”
