Overview

WHITE DIAMOND is a German Frers designed Beneteau 51 Idylle and is the 3 Cabin, 3 Head version.  She is well known in the Bahamas and Caribbean after spending many miles transiting these beautiful waters.  The present owner of almost 20 years has taken her cruising as far south as Grenada and points in between.  White Diamond was photographed in a Cruising World issue in 2010 sailing the Southern Bahamas (see photo gallery).  From her Awlgripped hull to her repowered Perkins M92 engine with 3 blade Max feathering propeller she's a deal you don't want to miss.
