Peter Rear jumps aboard the newly refurbished Halcyon Yacht
Recovering from my experience on XSMG’s monstrous XSR48 powerboat, I needed to get over my newfound fear of boating. What should fall through the letterbox the following week but an invitation for a few days on a luxury 80ft Bermudan yacht; that should do the trick.
To put you in the picture; only 40cm of the XSR48 sits in the water at its cruising speed of 60mph, two thunderous engines generate a massive 2000bhp and safety harnesses hold you in at its teeth grinding top speed of 109mph. My cure for this was to be a vessel likened to the Orient Express, fashioned by timeless luxury, and the perfect way to see one of the UK’s most outstanding areas of natural beauty. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was to be the venue and Halcyon the boat.
