* Winner of the 2001 & 2004 Whitsunday Fun Race * British Defender, designed by Martin Francis, and built in England, is a sloop design, 83ft in length, 20ft wide, built of high tech Carbon Fibre with a mast extending 115ft above the deck.

The boat is open plan downstairs, some of the many features include headroom throughout higher than 6ft, 2 dining tables, 3 toilets and showers.

On deck the boat is really wide, so there's space to chill out, plus we have a shade awning built into the boom.
