Overview
About this vessel
These Jim Young designed (to survey) 47ft launches were the premium large NZ production powerboats for many years, and they have stood the test of time very well. Candescent has had a series of caring owners; she presents in impeccable condition, and is being regularly used and maintained.
Well known for stable and forgiving handling if caught out in unsavoury conditions, her spacious and well-equipped interior is ideal for extended time aboard.
Candescent has been progressively improved during her current ownership, including repainting and window replacements.
Her extra-width 15m Nelson Marina berth on A Dock (normally with a very long waiting list) is transferable to her next lucky owner.
