Drummer

This beautiful motor yacht – a Fairline 36 Sedan Flybridge provides a superb platform for either training courses or private and corporate charters. Below decks, she offers truly spacious accommodation in two cabins and a combined wheelhouse and saloon with panoramic views and sliding doors onto the aft deck.

The extensive protected deck space is particularly impressive, including a huge lower aft deck, a long and flat foredeck, combined flybridge with its own ample aft deck. Movement around the boat is safe and easy with solid guardrails – no clambering around curved plastic surfaces as on many powerboats.

Drummer was launched in 1987. She is stable, fast and seaworthy. With responsive twin diesel, bow and stern thrusters, she is also perfectly manoeuvrable.

Needless to say, she is beautifully appointed and maintained throughout and also recently equipped with upgraded state-of-the-art electronics and communications package, including large plotters, radar, AIS etc.

She is powered by Twin 310Hp Turbo Diesel engines, cruising at around 12 knots with her fuel capacity of 1000 litres giving her an impressive range of approximately 400NM.

Accommodation is by 2 cabins, one double and the other a separate twin berth arrangement. Full galley facilities, Gas Hob and oven, small 12-volt refrigerator, spacious head with wash facility and of course the large saloon area.

If you are seeking quality power training using modern systems but in style and comfort, this is the yacht for you. If you are looking for a stylish vessel for private or corporate charter and want your party to feel safe and relaxed (and not overcrowded) then Drummer is perfect.
