Gregg Morton at Northrop & Johnson sends word of a further $501,000 reduction on the 42.67m motor yacht Lestralaur, which he says is now an estate sale.
Lestralaur was built in 1981 and originally launched as James Sinclair for the Canadian Fisheries Department to be used as a high speed patrol boat capable of negotiating the rough waters of the Pacific Northwest.
Renamed Lestralaur she is 90% of the way through a conversion into a luxury expedition yacht and has been fitted with all the bells and whistles. She was lengthened and modified to accommodate a helicopter, re-powered with brand new MTU 12V 4000 main engines, and fitted with new stabilisers, bow and stern thrusters, plus many other mechanical and electrical upgrades.
She has a 5,000 nautical mile range to reach the most remote locations on the planet.
With accommodation for 10 guests, Lestralaur is now asking $6,999,000, down from $7.5 million.
