Broker's Comments

Do you fancy owning a piece of history ? "Drumbeat" was built for Sir Max Aitken in 1957 so that he could enter the Admirals Cup. She achieved much success in her day, but is now very much a beautiful cruising yacht that just glistens from bow to stern and is a credit to her owners. if you love beautiful things and love lavishing care and attention on them then "Drumbeat" is the yacht to compliment your life style. You will certainly make lots of new friends and attract admirers where ever you take her.
