News in over the weekend from Michael Nethersole at Northrop & Johnson of a $500,000 price drop on Palmer Johnson’s 34m sailing yacht Keewaydin.
Delivered in 1996 and refitted in 2010, she’s the last sailing yacht to be built by the yard. The collaboration of Palmer Johnson, John G Alden and John Munford resulted in a superlative sailing vessel that could travel the world in unrivalled style and comfort for a vessel of her size. With Hood roller furling masts, Reckmann headstay furlers, a shallow draught centreboard design, a reliable Caterpillar main engine and a sail plan capable of powering her in all but the lightest winds, Keewaydin represents the epitome of a world cruiser.
Keewaydin is down from $4.9 million to $4.4 million.
