Description

SYLVIA is a highly specified Discovery 55 with an automated rig and a lovely light wood interior from 2008. She has been massively updated during this ownership, including new paint, standing and running rigging, electronics, a lithium-ion setup, Starlink, and much more. She also has an effective solar array. Currently in the Southern Hemisphere, she is now being offered for sale as her current family's adventure comes to an end, and it is time to return to the schoolroom and the office desk. She is gleaming.
