Discovery 55, VELA VEE

Discovery Yachts Ltd., Discovery 55 Built 2003 / £425,000, VAT paid

Broker’s Comments

Discovery 55, VELA VEE is a superb cruising yacht that was thoughtfully specified for long distance family cruising. She has succeeded admirably in this role and has been carefully maintained through life.

The Discovery 55 has been extensively reviewed. Bluewater Sailing called her `innovative and eminently comfortable voyaging home’, whilst Boat International said `the Discovery 55’ is a beautiful boat, soundly constructed out of the best materials and designed to look after her crew, whatever nature throws up. However, none of this is at the expense of performance.

The Discovery 55 was well received from the outset and there are a number of key features that have ensured the yachts enduring popularity:

• The deck layout and sail plan are unsurpassed in ease of handling with powered furling and electric winches, the white sail plan can be managed by one person entirely from the cockpit.
• The raised navigation station in her deck saloon enabling 360 views while looking at the charts/plotter.
• The raised saloon is popular with crew – keeping you out of the elements but in touch with your surrounding and the cockpit.
• A superb seagoing galley with ample stowage, large capacity fridge and freezers and spacious work surfaces with high fiddles.
• Walk in access to machinery in an airy well laid engine room.

Owner’s Comments

We bought Discovery 55, VELA VEE at the end of 2017 and really started to use her with avengeance in 2018 – sailing locally in the Solent and then further afield to the West Country and France through the course of 2018, learning more about the boat in the process.

Our real target in buying the boat was to cruise the west coast of Scotland and we therefore found ourselves headed up the Irish Sea on a cold May Day (and night), finally making our first steps on Scottish soil on a sunny but still cold day. We had a great summer learning more about the islands, the wildlife and enjoying the spectacular scenery.

Our plan for the following year to go across to Norway and up to Lofoten was scuppered by COVID but we still managed to have a few weeks exploring more of the islands once we were allowed to go into Scotland again.

The following year COVID was still limiting travel abroad and we gave up on Norway, turning our attentions instead on the Orkneys, Fair Isle (which was the jewel in the crown) and Shetland.

We then returned down south, passing the outer Hebrides before crossing over to Northern Ireland and Ireland, the Scillies and finally home to Lymington at the end of 2021.

In 2022, we felt that we deserved a bit of sunshine so headed south to the Spanish Rias.

During our time with the boat we have become very attached to it, as happens with boats! Its original design concept, to provide a boat that can be handled easily by two people, has definitely been achieved. Having the space for friends to visit but also to store two mountain bikes and kayaks was also a great advantage.

Over our ownership of the boat we have progressively updated various systems, particularly the navigational equipment.

We have greatly enjoyed owning Discovery 55, VELA VEE and will be very sad to see her go.

Client reviews.

More Than Just a Watch

As an avid sailor, the Optimum Time OS Series 12 is a game-changer! Its easy-to-read display, countdown timer, and waterproof design make it an indispensable tool on the water. A must-have for anyone serious about sailing!

The Precision Engineering Of Ronstan Orbit Blocks Is Impressive

These blocks have been a game changer for my sailing rig. The smooth rotation and lightweight design make maneuvering sails a breeze." Highly recommended!

Simple And Light, They Do The Job

I have three cleats on each side of my boat, all of which excel at snagging spinnaker sheets. These things solve the problem perfectly without adding too much weight. I bought two pair, one for the bow cleats and another for the center cleats. The aft most cleats are not a problem.

Excellent One Design Compass

Easy to read and yet smaller; doesn't get in the way of lines on the mast etc. Features are very good and the buttons are actual push buttons that are very responsive (vs touch screen that can be a challenge when wet, with gloves or sunscreen). The Distance to line is extremely accurate.

Exactly what I Needed

Product works great on my 1996 Precision P21. Vela Sail was super helpful and the shipping was super quick.

LADY KATHRYN V

Integrity and the relentless pursuit of the deal defines Moran Yacht & Ship - I am grateful that you were on this journey with me. This magical machine KISMET is the second yacht I’ve had built with Moran Yacht & Ship. KISMET has brought joy, hope, and the gift of discovery to many lives - including my own. You have made this world a better place! Owner, KISMET

By way of background, my business interests include controlling stakes in 3 publicly traded companies which operate vessels in the 500 to 5000dwt range. On average, one new vessel a year would be added to the fleet. As a result, I have access to in-house marine architects, engineers and construction supervisors. Consequently, when I decided to build my first large motor yacht, I did not feel I needed the services of a company like Moran Yacht & Ship. In any event, I was persuaded to let them negotiate on my behalf while I simultaneously held discussions with other building options. Moran Yacht & Ship understands yachts, their incredibly complex systems, and what constitutes a practical solution to various owners’ ideas. In short, I would not consider building another yacht without engaging Moran Yacht & Ship to provide the services they are so good in delivering. Former Owner, NORTHERN STAR

At Least 40 Migrants Die in Boat Fire Off Haitian Coast, U.N. Says

The boat was carrying over 80 people and bound for Turks and Caicos. The disaster underscores the gang-fueled crisis that has spurred many Haitians to leave.

By David C. Adams and James Wagner

David C. Adams reported from Miami, and James Wagner from Mexico City.

At least 40 migrants were killed when a boat they were traveling on from Haiti caught fire, a United Nations agency announced on Friday. The boat, which was carrying over 80 people, left the northern coast of Haiti on Wednesday en route for the Turks and Caicos Islands 150 miles away, the agency said .

An additional 41 migrants were rescued from the boat by the Haitian Coast Guard, the agency said, with 11 taken to a hospital. It said the boat caught fire off the coast of Cap-Haïtien, a city in northern Haiti.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

The episode, which took place around 3 a.m. Wednesday, was another disaster for the Caribbean country, which has been upended by rampant gang violence and an unfolding humanitarian crisis. This year, coordinated gang attacks rocked the capital, Port-au-Prince, forcing the closure of its airport for nearly three months. Since then, nearly 580,000 Haitians have been internally displaced, according to the U.N.

“This devastating event highlights the risks faced by children, women and men migrating through irregular routes, demonstrating the crucial need for safe and legal pathways for migration,” Grégoire Goodstein, the head of the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration in Haiti, said in a statement on Friday.

He said that Haiti’s socioeconomic situation was dire and that the “extreme violence” over the past months has pushed Haitians to resort to “desperate measures even more.”

The U.N.’s International Organization for Migration in Haiti said it had confirmed the number of survivors with its personnel on the ground and with Haiti’s National Office of Migration.

Cap-Haïtien, the country’s second-largest city, has been relatively unaffected by the gang violence that has wracked the country in recent months, but it is a jumping-off point for migrants. Attacks on public transportation, including on the main road between Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien, has limited the potential for migrant smuggling.

Haiti has experienced a wave of gang violence that has brought surges in kidnappings, killings and the takeover of much of Port-au-Prince since the assassination in July 2021 of President Jovenel Moïse by armed men who broke into his bedroom and gunned him down in front of his wife. His killing is still under separate investigations in Haiti and Florida.

Amid the disorder, Prime Minister Ariel Henry resigned in late April. In May, Garry Conille, a former U.N. official, was appointed prime minister by a presidential transitional council.

Eight months after the United Nations authorized the use of international forces to be deployed to Haiti, the first wave of foreign law enforcement officers from Kenya arrived last month to try to wrest control of Port-au-Prince from dozens of armed groups that have attacked police stations, freed prisoners and killed with impunity.

The Kenyans in Haiti are the first of an expected 2,500-member multinational force to deploy, an effort largely organized by the Biden administration.

Since March, the U.N. migration agency said, the Haitian Coast Guard has observed an increase in the number of departures by boat. Coast Guards from countries in the region, including the United States, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and Jamaica, have also reported a growing number of boats originating from Haiti being intercepted at sea.

On Thursday, American and Bahamian officials announced the suspension of a search for a missing boat with an estimated 60 migrants bound for Florida. It was believed to have departed on July 4 from a collection of islands in the Bahamas that is a popular jumping-off point for Haitian migrants trying to reach the United States.

In June, a group of 117 migrants from Haiti arrived off Key West, Fla., in a sailboat, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

Overall, maritime migration of Haitians — as well as Cubans fleeing for financial and political reasons — to the United States has reached its highest levels since the 1990s, according to numbers complied by the Migration Policy Institute , a nonpartisan research organization based in Washington.

It estimated that 7,000 Haitians and 6,000 Cubans were intercepted at sea by United States officials during the 2022 fiscal year, and that initial data showed similar trends for the 2023 fiscal year.
