Discovery 50: A Mini Review
Discovery Spirit 50 368

Discovery Yachts has added a sleek catamaran to its lineup of luxury yachts that are designed to be a home away from home for friends and family. Unlike catamarans designed for the charter industry that are laden with beds, the 50 focuses on speed, comfort and safety for a lucky few. For speed, this Bill Dixon design has been kept light by High Modulus carefully engineering the structure and well proven features such as a galley foot pump and optional salt water outlet for saving water on long distance voyages. Other feature for cruising independence are back-up systems on more than just the critical gear, designated spaces for safety gear, more than ample storage and a well protected cockpit. Interior layout can be customized but there is one proposed layout with a full width owner's cabin that maybe hard to beat.
