I contacted Eric Trupheme in the Antibes office of Ocean Independence to check if it really is true that the owner of Thackwray's 28.04m sailing megayacht Shere Khan has cut the price by as much as a third and Eric confirms that it's true, with the owner still willing to entertain offers.

Delivered by the New Zealand yard in 1985, this proven world cruiser offers performance, comfort and safety for six guests in three cabins plus up to five crew. Previously on the market at €1.8 million, Shere Khan is now asking €1.2 million.
