About this Wade Performance Craft

English

Once in a while at Waypoint Yacht Brokers Ltd we come across a vessel that is as out of the ordinary as it extraordinary. Blue Thunder is just that. Designed by the current owner and built by his company Wade Performance Craft in Australia and launched in 1997 this vessel demands attention and turns heads where ever she goes. Specifically built for the challenging seas off Australia the fine entry hull combined with two new Volvo 5.7Gi 250 HP engines ensure Blue Thunder can power effortlessly through most sea conditions to be found around the British Isles

With a top speed of around 45 knots Blue Thunder will satisfy the most discerning of thrill seekers but for those of a more sedate disposition cruising at 20 knots is a pure comfortable pleasure

Whilst Blue Thunder is undoubtedly built for speed it is not at the expense of comfort.

Below she has seating/berths for two, a galley and separate heads. Spray hood/Cockpit Tent. Plus Included in the sale is a Road Trailer

Layout and Accommodation

Step aboard the generous bathing platform with swim ladder and stern light to the spacious and stylish cockpit seating which will seat 8 plus sunpad. The two bucket seats at the helm swivel making this a sociable area for entertaining at anchor.

The helm is well served with instrumentation including a Raymarine E70202 Chart Plotter, VHF Radio, Depth and Speed instruments plus the stereo speakers.

Down the companionway you will find a galley with sink and spirit cooker to port with plenty of storage and the heads to starboard with electric loo and basin.

Forward is the comfortable saloon seating with infill to convert to a generous double berth.
