Overview

SILENT FAITH WAS the flagship of the Voyage fleet when she was built and was the boat show yacht for Voyage for several years.  She turned many heads then and is still a stunning vessel, WITH MANY UNIQUE AND DESIRABLE FEATURES, INCLUDING:

 

ICW FRIENDLY MAST HEIGHT (safety feature during foul weather)
SHALLOW DRAFT (less that other V500's only 3'5")
LOW REV DIESELS FOR LONGER ENGINE LIFE (3000 rpm not 3600 rpm)
ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL OUTLETS NEEDED PLACES
OVERSIZED KING BED IN MASTER
U-SHAPED SETTEE IN MAIN SALOON FOR MORE COMFORTABLE LOUNGE SPACE
ACCESS TO KID'S CABIN (pilot berth) from MAIN SALOON
GALLEY DRAWER STORAGE INSTEAD OF CABINETS (more efficient)
WALK IN LOCKER IN MASTER (50 hanging items)

COMPLETE COCKPIT ENCLOSURE

NU-TEAK COCKPIT FLOORING

 

Truly in sailaway condition regarding cruising equipment, charts (paper and electronic), cruising guides, galley items, bedding, towels, etc, even a pair of binoculars. This vessel now ready for her next adventure save the addition of groceries and new owner's personal gear.

Having overseen the construction of this vessel at our factory in Cape Town, South Africa, the original owners had numerous details built into the boat which make for comfortable and convenient cruising. Additional 110v outlets in specific areas, the design and construction of a large pantry/storage area in the port hull amidships, conveniently located drawers in the galley, a special playroom/cabin for the kids or grandkids, additional seating in the main saloon - just to mention a few. 

For safety, convenience and comfort, this customized VOYAGE 500 was designed with a shorter mast to provide for ICW and all inland waterway transit. This particular vessel can go where few other catamarans of this size can - if you are offshore when a storm picks up it's possible to make landfall and transit under 65' bridges to safe harbor. Typically, other 50' catamarans cannot do so. A redesigned mainsail with a broader roach and longer foot retain the same original sail area for optional sailing preformance. The boom was extended to accommodate the longer footed mainsail. To insure cool and comfort during the hottest tropical day, the air conditioning has been over built with more than 50,000 btu's and on many days only one of the three units is needed.

If you are ready to purchase a 50' catamaran from a world class builder - one that is in great condition and equipped for world cruising, then I encourage you to consider this yacht very seriously. Currently located in Palm Coast, FL and available for personal inspection and immediate purchase.
