Excite-A-Bull is a Bull 7000 primarily and undeniably an out-and-out fast racing yacht. She will appeal to the adrenalin seekers who enjoy the thrill of speed rather than those who prefer a more sedate pace to the local anchorage. Having said that, she has below berths for four crew, two burner gas hob, a ten litre fresh water tank and chemical heads.
You can invite your fellow competitors around for evening drinks before racing then ‘Eat em for breakfast’ on the start line the following day!
Additionally, she has a bespoke road trailer.
To sum up Excite-A-Bull is the complete ‘Racing Package’ just add crew and listen for the 10 minute gun!
