Dawn Rising is a Legend 33. As with all Legends they are instantly recognisable by the lack of a backstay which is I believe is unique to the Marque. This B&R rig was designed by Bergstrom and Ridder two Swedish aeronautical engineers. The design allows a larger roach on the mainsail facilitating more power for upwind sailing.
When stepping aboard Dawn Rising you are greeted by the impressive gantry on the stern, which keeps the mainsheet and traveller out of harm’s way, which is an excellent safety feature for the crew. It also provides space for the practical array of solar panels that supports the boat's 12 volt electrical system. (One engine three domestic batteries). She is also fitted throughout with navigation and domestic LED lighting
Because she has a beam of 3.5 metres it allows safe access to the foredeck along the ample side decks.
Below decks to port is a secure galley befitting a vessel much larger! Dawn Rising’s galley has a refrigerator, basin with H&C water plus a cooker with oven and three burner hob!!!
To starboard is the good size electric sea-water heads with wash basin and shower with H&C water. Immediately aft of the heads is a short passageway with hanging locker which leads to the double bed aft cabin. Further forward is the cavernous, light and airy main saloon. In the fore peak there is a double berth with seat to port and hanging locker to starboard
In summary Dawn Rising is unashamedly a family cruiser with the benefit of a spacious interior easily handled under power and fun to sail with the ability to, in 15 knots of apparent wind, achieve five knots close hauled and 6 knots on reach !
