Boat Overview
The Sovereign range was built in Dartmouth by Western Approaches yachts, which later became Sovereign Yachts. The design brief for the Sovereign deck saloon was ".... to be a fast cruising vessel with classic good looks but with modern beam/length ratio, providing accommodation in three separate sleeping cabins without using the saloon". The yacht features a long fin keel with a bulbed foot carrying lead ballast, and a skeg-supported semi-balanced spade rudder.
Condition and Usage
