1998 BIRDSALL 65 ROYALE

Designed by the renowned Beau Birdsall and crafted in New Zealand, 'BUBBLE' (formerly known as EXODUS) is a beautifully maintained and continually upgraded yacht, cared for by her experienced Austrian owner. 'Bubble', an excellent example of Kiwi ingenuity - is versatile and well-suited for sailing anywhere, including the most remote latitudes, with safety features like a watertight bulkhead and extensive safety equipment ensuring readiness for adventurous journeys. The yacht's layout boasts spacious living areas, including three cabins: a crew cabin near the galley with twin single bunks, a forward cabin with its own ensuite bathroom, and a luxurious full-beam master cabin aft, complete with a large ensuite rivaling the comfort of a small apartment.
A meticulously organized sail locker/workshop offers additional space with bunks, a washing machine, a large 12V freezer, tools, and a workbench, all thoughtfully arranged for easy access. Despite her size, 'BUBBLE' remains nimble and manageable short-handed, thanks to several modifications enabling single-handed sailing.
Registered in Langkawi and currently in Fiji, she has undergone regular surveys in 2019 and 2023, attesting to her excellent condition. Her owner, after meticulous preparation for polar exploration, had to alter his plans and remains onboard to maintain her pristine state until sold. He is also ready to assist the future buyer with a smooth handover, including test sails and detailed guidance on her operation. More information is readily available for interested buyers.
