Seaquest RP36 at Sydney International Boat Show

by Seaquest Media on 11 Jul 2008 Seaquest Yachts will be proudly displaying the latest yacht in its range for the first time at a marine expo in Australia at the Sydney International Boat Show due to open on July 31st. The Australian distributors will have the Reichel-Pugh designed Seaquest RP36 in the floating marina section of this hugely popular boating must-do event.

‘We are expecting a lot of interest in this yacht which I see as an exciting alternative for owners searching in this size and style category of yachts available in Australia,’ explained Chris Pomfret, National Sales and Marketing Manager.

‘Our Seaquest RP36 is a cruiser racer with an outstanding pedigree from world renowned Reichel-Pugh Yacht Design combined with a comfy interior at a very palatable price. This yacht is becoming very popular with boat owners looking for a performance orientated yacht in the 32 to 42 foot market’.

‘Three Seaquest RP36’s are already sailing in Melbourne, Sydney and in North Queensland with tremendous results that are hard to believe for a yacht of this size.’

The Reichel-Pugh designed yacht is very fast for its length due to its powerful sail plan and stiff characteristics brought about by its generous T-bulb fin keel which has a ballast of 2,500kg’s. The fine entry and relatively narrow waterline are distinctively Reichel-Pugh.

‘The interior and deck is a little more traditional in its layout as comfort was definitely in mind during this stage of the design phase. I have found that for a yacht of this size and design the accommodation is surprisingly large. We know that there are many owners also want to cruise in comfort and this is just as important to them as winning their club pointscore.’




Chris Pomfret says, ‘One advantage of Seaquest Yachts is our ability to add in items that will tailor the boat to meet your sailing plans and needs. With our years of sailing experience and support from suppliers we have some great solutions for a range of common issues.’

The Seaquest RP36 is the latest product in the Seaquest Yachts range and combines years of knowledge gained from building boats. The business was purchased in late 2005 in a joint venture by Sheik Mana Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, a member of the Dubai Royal Family and the founding owner of Seaquest Yachts, Mike Eaton. Eaton remains an active part owner of the business and has overseen the factory move from the UK to a brand new purpose built facility in Dubai. This facility is purposely set up for boat building and includes features such as full climate control to aid in the quality of the building and finishing processes.

The Seaquest Yachts philosophy is to provide the market the opportunity to purchase a leading edge design from the hottest designers that will incorporate the dual purpose of racing and cruising for a price that is very competitive with other production boats of similar size.

Available in Australia from $259,000 excluding instruments and sails this boat is the perfect opportunity for a racer cruiser to own a yacht designed by the world’s leading yacht designers at a fraction of the price of a custom boat.
