MISS SILVER is a 36.1-metre sailing sloop built in aluminium by New Zealand’s renowned Alloy Yachts and delivered in 1995, the product of a celebrated collaboration between naval architect Ed Dubois and interior designers Redman Whiteley Dixon. Formerly known as Sovereign, she was conceived as a fast cruiser with a genuine racing pedigree, and she has lost none of her competitive edge over the years, taking victory at the 2020 Millennium Cup and putting in an impressive performance at the 2023 Superyacht Cup. Cherished by only a handful of owners since new, she underwent an extensive multi-million-euro refit in 2022 that saw her relaunched with new teak decks, a complete repaint and a beautifully renewed modern interior, combining her enduring sailing ability with a fresh, contemporary luxury feel. Custom-built for adventure, MISS SILVER offers charter guests a ring-side seat at the heart of the action once her sails are unfurled, and ample space to relax and unwind afterwards as they take in the views. Her deck is designed for both sailing and socialising, with an excellent covered cockpit that features a large C-shaped couch wrapped around a fixed dining table, creating a wonderful sheltered space for al fresco dining and lounging. The low-slung pilothouse, accessed through hydraulic sliding glass doors, offers casual dining and a cocktail bar with excellent visibility, so guests can enjoy meals in three distinct settings: outdoors beneath the custom awning, in the sleek pilothouse, or in the formal saloon below. That raised saloon is bright and inviting, with sweeping 360-degree sea views, a stylish bar with seating and an elegant formal dining area set around a walnut table. Accommodation is arranged for up to 8 guests in four comfortable staterooms, comprising a spacious full-beam master suite, a VIP suite and two twin cabins, all finished in the refined RWD-designed interior with entertainment centres and en-suite shower facilities. A professional crew of up to six ensures attentive and discreet service throughout, looking after every detail so guests can focus on the pleasure of the sail. Powered by a single Lugger engine when required, she cruises comfortably at around 10 knots with a top speed of some 12 knots and a range of up to 4,500 nautical miles, giving her the ability to roam widely in search of secluded coves and distant horizons. She carries a well-chosen selection of water toys including a Williams jet tender, Seabobs, paddleboards, a wakeboard and snorkelling gear for eight, along with a gym and two remote-control sailing yachts for a little friendly competition at anchor. Cruising the Mediterranean, including the Balearic Islands, MISS SILVER offers charter guests a rare blend of exhilarating, award-winning sailing performance and the serene comfort of a freshly refitted modern interior, an exceptional choice for families and keen sailors alike seeking genuine adventure under sail. With her modest guest capacity, attractive charter rate and genuine sailing soul, she is perfectly suited to couples, families and small groups who want an authentic, hands-on yachting experience without sacrificing comfort or style. Available for charter through Cecil Wright and Partners, MISS SILVER is offered at rates from EUR 80,000 per week plus expenses, outstanding value for an award-winning Dubois sloop of her quality and pedigree.
