One of a kind... from a prestigious American designer and a renowned Turkish Shipyard. Naval Architect Dudley Dix from Virginia in the United States was the designer of FLEUR and she was constructed at the IBC Shipyard in Bodrum Turkey to extremely high standards. This is the only Cutter Rigged sailing yacht ever produced to a Dix design. She sails well and momentarily achieved a speed of 14.7 knots under Genoa alone during a passage from the Canary Islands to St Lucia in August of 2008. SY Fleur is outfitted with twin Yanmar 75hp marine diesel engines and has dual props and shaft running gear. This is truly a unique yacht and with twin engines and bow thruster she is truly a breeze to maneuver. Incidentally, this extraordinary yacht meets all of the USA standards and criteria for chartering so if you are thinking along those lines she is ready, willing and able!

From the notes of naval architect Dudley Dix... "I was deeply involved in sailing management for a few years, serving for many years on the sailing committee of Hout Bay Yacht Club and on regional and national committees of the Cruising Asociation of South Africa and South African Sailing. The last 2 years of this period I was Chairman of CASA and on the Council of SAS. In January 2004 we moved from South Africa to USA. We now live in Virginia Beach, on the Southern side of the mouth of Chesapeake Bay and part of the Hampton Roads area. Our home is on the side of a small lake. Here I continue to sail my Paper Jet skiff on local waters and surf the beaches of the mid-Atlantic states."
