"Mago Merlino"   Privilege 12 meter

Stylish, fast, and really comfortable! A true ocean cruiser.

The Privilege is a  fast comfortable passage maker and very strongly built in France by Jeantot Marine. A bespoke builder they went to great pains in her build so when you step aboard you immediately get a feeling of strength  security and great quality in detail.  Step below and you are in a snug world of warm wood and comfort. 
As you can see above, cockpit space isn't an issue, I can sit eight for dinner at that table! and its the same below.  
You will usually have your own double cabin and shower / heads to your self.
What else. Well massive tanks and  water maker, a proper galley! with two fridges. Electronics coming out her ears. Radar, Electronic charts, Autopilot, AIS. SSB, DSC, 

Masthead rigged which is a bit unusual for a modern catamaran, but as a long distance cruiser, this means she's easily handled. Designed to be at sea not sitting in a marina, you'll find that when you need to turn a winch handle you can actually get at it!  Big flat decks give a feeling of security when up forward, but there are couple of tramps for you sun bathers! Actually there are three tramps come to think of it. Two trampolenes at the front end and a tinker tramp RIB hanging in davits. great little boat for exploring ( she even has a sailing rig)    

Can she sail? Well I passage make at 7 knots. Not  a huge speed, but oh so easy! Flat out she's doing about 11. The best bit though is her ease of handling. A joy in a tight spot. If the gaps big enough I can sail her just about anywhere. A real ballet dancer.

Big sail wardrobe includes New hydranet ( sprectra) Main, three headsl's and a Spinnaker and yes we'll use it! good visibility at the helm but protected and that bimini is permanent so we don't get wet ( not that it ever rains in Beautiful Cornwall?!)
