Whirlwind - yacht for sale with Fraser Yachts

A call to James Munn at Fraser Yachts brings news that he’s now listed the 28m sailing yacht Whirlwind for sale.

Designed by Andre Hoek and built by Holland Jachtbouw in 1998, she was refitted in 2011/2012 with a new Andrew Winch interior.

With ample freeboards, a long coachroof and grand deckhouse, Whirlwind has a surprisingly spacious volume for such a slender yacht. Her semi-classic exterior profile contrasts superbly with the modern interior and, MCA compliant, she accommodates up to eight guests in a master suite and two double staterooms, each with a Pullman berth.
