1938 Custom Bailey & Sons

A 1938 custom cruiser measuring 54 feet, this wooden-hulled yacht was originally built in New Zealand and later served with the Royal New Zealand Navy during World War II. The boat was relocated to New Caledonia in 1979, where it underwent a comprehensive refit that included complete reconstruction of the hull and deck with laminated epoxy coating, new electrical and plumbing systems throughout, a new generator, and full engine reconditioning. Twin Cummins diesel engines deliver 600 horsepower, with a cruising speed of 8 knots and maximum speed of 12 knots.

The interior features a loft-style layout with a living area and two cabins served by six heads. Generous deck spaces provide comfortable areas for entertaining and relaxing. Throughout the refit, the focus was on high-quality materials and careful execution across all systems and finishes.
