Following this design's enormous success, Cockwells has extended the Duchy range from 21ft to 60ft, resulting in a full order book and lengthy waiting times for new builds.Commissioned by serial Cockwells owners, who have owned several other boats from the builder, DANAE has every possible option ticked plus a lengthy list of additional customisations, extending her base price by circa £60,000.

What's more, we can customise it to your exact specifications and include any number of optional extras. Rich teak decking, exquisite bespoke joinery, custom-made stainless steel handrails and leather seating add a touch of luxury to the expansive cockpit that provides room to relax and entertain. Swimming is made easier with a walk through transom that leads to a bathing platform and ladder. Recline on the waterproof upholstery to dry off in style. Take a hot shower. Add the cockpit cover when skies turn grey. Sip something chilled from the fridge whilst you prepare a gourmet supper on the gas hob. The possibilities of life aboard a Duchy 27 that is uniquely yours are endless.An extremely versatile launch that can comfortably navigate the coasts of England, France and the Channel Islands, even in rough seas, the Duchy 27's potent 200hp diesel engine also offers excellent fuel efficiency.PRESS REVIEW:"Let's imagine you're a typical Duchy 27 buyer. Or perhaps you're reading this because you don't need to imagine.Chances are that you will have owned a sizeable yacht at some stage. Now the time has come for something smaller. You don't throw money around and you certainly want to receive value for what you spend, but you're not interested in budget offerings. You want a motorboat, whether or not you have sailed all your life. You want to be able to step aboard, turn the key and go.It can't be just any motorboat, however. It needs to be built and finished to a high standard, to look the business and to be capable of handling wind and waves. Especially if switching from sail to power, you're not prepared to be confined to port just because 20 knots of wind happens to be blowing from the direction you want to go.Your new boat needs to be a proper, seagoing gentleman's motor cruiser; the sort that a proper seagoing gentleman - or lady - would be proud to own, whether punching across Lyme Bay or pottering up the Carrick Roads.If this sounds like you, it's likely that the Duchy 27, built in Cornwall by Cockwells, will be at - or, at least, near - the top of a very short list.Cockwells Modern and Classic Boatbuilding is a boatyard with a difference. Dave and his team build, sell and restore yachts of classic heritage, both sail and power. The yard is perhaps best known among sailing folk for building pilot cutters, several of which have been launched in recent years. If you prefer, you can have a Morecambe Bay Prawner in cedar strip. Should you happen to own a classic America's Cup yacht in need of a rebuild, that's no problem either.This is a yard where traditional boatbuilding skills are married with aramids and composites. While a Bristol Channel pilot cutter might be in larch over oak frames, the Cockwells custom motor-launches and super-yacht tenders (the latter as supplied for ferrying VIPs around the yacht show in Monaco, for example) are just as likely to use epoxy-infused e-glass foam sandwich for the hull and hand- laid teak on the cockpit sole. Amid this synthesis of old- school craftsmanship and hi-tech composites applied to custom projects, it might seem surprising to find a production boat with a hull in conventional solid GRP - not that the Duchy 27 is a production boat in the normal sense, because no two are quite the same. And, of course, she's built in the style of a Cockwell's launch, employing the same shipwrights' skills and attention to detail. Nonetheless, the Duchy 27 is as close to production as you will find in this particular corner of Cornwall."Extracts from Practical Boat Owner MagazineSPECIFICATIONS CONSTRUCTIONRCD Status: Our understanding is the yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised C - "Inshore - Coastal & Estuary" for 6 persons on board.Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction: GRP hull and superstructure construction Integral full length keel for direction stability and to provide protection for propeller and support for rudder Dark blue hull topsides finish White gelcoat finish to superstructure Teak laid side decks, cockpit sole and bathing platform Hull epoxy treated Coppercoat antifouling systemMACHINERYEngines & gearboxes: 1x Nanni T4.205 4-cylinder, common-rail, direct fuel injection, turbo-charged and intercooled diesel engine producing 200hp 3,600rpm Fresh water engine cooling via raw water intakes and heat exchanger Hydraulic gearbox with shaft lineMaintenance & Performance: Engine hours: approx. 10 as of Summer 2024 Date of last engine service: May 2024 Cruising speed - approx. 18 knots at 2,600rpm Max speed - approx. 24 knots at 3,200rpm Fuel consumption at cruising speed - approx. 1 litre per hour giving cruising range of approx. 200NmPropulsion & Steering: Shaft drive with stainless steel propeller shaft 4-bladed bronze propeller Ambassador rope cutter Quick 12vDC electric bow and stern thrusters with dual joystick control at helm Hydraulic power steering connected to rudder with Cockwells polished stainless steel wheel with varnished wood rimELECTRICAL SYSTEMSVoltage systems: 12vDC domestic and start circuits with 220vAC via shorepowerBattery Banks: 12vDC engine start battery 12vDC service battery with additional battery for stern thrusterCharging / Inverter: Victron Energy battery charger and inverterAlternators: 100Ah 12vDC alternator to engineSolar: 2x 50w solar panels on coachroof with charge controllerOther Electrical: 220vAC shore power with RCD circuit breaker and shore power cable 12vDC socket at helmPLUMBING & GAS SYSTEMSFresh Water: 12vDC pressurized water pump for supplying fresh water Hot water supply via engine calorifier and 220vAC immersion heater element in well-insulated hot water tank heated by shorepower Hot & cold pressurised water supply to galley, heads and cockpit showerBilge Pumps: 2x 12vDC electric bilge pumps Manual bilge pumpTANKAGEFuel: Total fuel capacity approx. 330 litres consisting of 1x tanks located at the forward end of the machinery space Stainless steel filler Digital tank level gauge at helmFresh Water: Total water capacity approx 220 litres Stainless steel fillerNAVIGATION & COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENTNavigation: Simrad NS colour GRP chart plotter Simrad Halo closed-array radar scanner Simrad autopilot Simrad speed and depth transducers Simrad AIS Magnetic steering compassCommunications Equipment: Simrad VHF with DSCDOMESTIC EQUIPMENTGalley: 220vAC induction hob 12vDC stainless steel refrigerator with icebox in cockpit Stainless steel sink with hot & cold pressurised fresh water supply and Corian infillHeads: Planus 12vDC electric flushing marine toilet.
