Seraph of Royal Clarence
Racing with the windSeraph of Royal Clarence is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2. (click on this link for a virtual tour).
Ordered by us, built to charter specification and launched in the summer of 2003 we then sailed her from UK, across the Bay of Biscay, along the northern coast of Spain, and down the Portuguese coast. Then on through the Straits of Gibraltar and along the Mediterranean coast of Spain until reaching our destination of Marina de Denia.
We did this as part of Rally Portugal, an annual event organised by World Cruising.
Layout and amenities
Internally Seraph has 3 double cabins, each sleeping two people in comfort. One at the bow (that's the pointy bit at the front, if you're not certain about the nautical terms), and two separate cabins at the stern (the blunt bit at the back). In addition, the saloon area in the centre can be converted to provide an extra double berth, sleeping a total of 8 people in comfort.
The galley area features a gas oven and hob, fridge, and microwave oven. There are two heads, one in the for'ard cabin, and one accessed from the saloon area. There is also a radio, CD/DVD player and television.
The cockpit has plenty of room for eight people and with the purpose made seat cushions is extremely comfortable.
