Accommodation is offered for 6 over 3 comfortable cabins, with a large and well-appointed galley.TRADEWINDS is a 2002 launched example of the Trader 535 Signature. Originally based in the Mediterranean, she has been based in the UK under the last two ownerships. Now reluctantly offered for sale due to a bereavement her inventory highlights include:• Full osmosis treatment completed in 2021• Underwater hull finished with Copper Coat applied following osmosis treatment in 2021• Twin Yanmar 6CXM-GTE2, 440hp marine diesel engines• Onan MKAD-4962013, 13.5kw marine diesel generator• Sidepower bow and stern thrusters• Robertson autopilot system• 2x Raymarine C120W with UK/Ireland cartorgraphy / radar functionality• Simrad IS15 navigation instrumentation• SMEG Hob and Oven, 230VAC• SMEG combi oven / microwave• Electric flush marine toilets in both heads• HFL Klima reverse cycle air conditioning system, 230AC, heating and cooling• Maxwell electric anchor windlass• Almar passarelle systemLying afloat and in commission on her berth in Craobh Marina the Trader 535 Signature ‘TRADEWINDS’ is available for immediate viewing by prior appointment.PRESS REVIEW:“Although Tarquin Yacht Co. offer Trader motor yachts up to 120ft, their core business is still comfortable cruising boats from 40ft to 60ft. All feature an aft-cabin layout and a flybridge, and a finely honed solid-wood interior which not only looks the part but can absorb the wear and tear that goes with plenty of use.The boats are built in Taiwan, but the UK end of the operation provides the direction, by way of all the design and engineering work, as well as ensuring that owners get what they want in terms of customised fit-outs…There are three different ranges within the Trader family – Signature, Sundeck and Sunliner – each characterised by a slightly different exterior theme. Features of the Signature series include an elongated transom allowing for a fully integrated bathing platform, and a hardtop sheltering a large aft-deck entertaining area. What the 535 Signature promises is comfortable liveaboard cruising, but on a size or boat that be handled a-deux. VerdictIf you want a boat for spacious and comfortable liveaboard cruising, without having to fuss over it, this marque is difficult to beat. The 535 Signature offers serious bluewater passagemaking on the one hand, and extremely commodious interior and deck space on the other. “Motor Boat Monthly – January 2004
