Remarks :For over 30 years Cygnus Marine built fast fishing boats and pilot craft in Falmouth before venturing into the yacht market. This boat’s two 300hp diesel engines give a cruising speed of 17 to 18 knots while with their trolling valves engaged the beasts can be safely tamed for pootling along continental canals. Beaching legs provide an opportunity to take the ground peacefully up secluded creeks and inlets.

Her launch caught the eye of the yachting press resulting in a dramatic picture on the front cover of Motorboats Monthly showing Weather Or Knot doing what she does best in a seaway - shown in the pictures.
Her second owners have carried out improvements and upgrades to the internal fit-out and instrumentation, but the boat has been very lightly used in recent years. She has been lifted, antifouled, cleaned, polished and had her sacrificial anodes replaced annually. Now, very reluctantly, the decision has been taken to sell.
