BROCHURE

From the sweep of her sheer to the detail of her finish work, her pedigree is unmistakable.

Originally built for one of America's foremost and most demanding
yachtsmen, PALAWAN was painstakingly created to be the ultimate gentleman's
cruiser.

Named for a remote island in the Philippines, PALAWAN was solidly constructed for long offshore passages and circumnavigations.

Sail magazine has described her speed as "rather better than a 12-Meter,"* a swiftness
she handily demonstrated in the 1998 Nantucket Bucket, finishing first in the racing fleet of 28 large yachts.

But this gracious lady also adapts beautifully to a slower pace, lingering with ease among palm-shaded islands and exploring colorful harbors and seaside villages.

PALAWAN is a remarkable shoal-draft cruiser, ingeniously designed with not one, but two centerboards. When they are lowered to their full fifteen-foot draft, she slices through the water with incredible directional stability. But when the boards are raised, she skims the shallows as effortlessly as she does the open ocean. Giving you the best of both worlds, PALAWAN can put well over 200 miles behind her in a day, and then tuck up into a hidden anchorage that's beyond the reach of all those deep-keeled vessels.

PALAWAN offers a large cockpit area with plenty of comfortably contoured seating.

A second guests' cockpit invites you to sit back and let your crew do all the work while you savor the wind and water undisturbed.

A private companionway leads from here to the master suite.

In the exceptionally spacious pilothouse, the seats have been carefully positioned to provide 360-degree views of the surrounding scenery while maintaining your complete privacy.

With the nav station located here, you'll also enjoy keeping an eye on all the state-of-the-art electronics as you cruise along.

Other tasteful touches include a beautiful collection of antique scrimshaw.

The extensive entertainment center in the saloon provides music of all varieties, plus television and video.

Whatever your pleasure, you need only ask. The separate dining area, to port, is the setting for elegant candle-lit dinners presented on fine china and crystal.

But as the mood strikes you, you are also welcome to enjoy meals served more casually on deck.

There are three private staterooms, accommodating six guests.

Two are located amidships, just aft of the saloon, each appointed with two berths and a private ensuite head with enclosed shower.

Adding to the luxury are two adjoining heads, one with a shower, the other complete with a full-size bathtub.

Come experience a true thoroughbred.
Come sail PALAWAN.
