Under sail, or power, the Warwick 72 Longrange Cruising Yacht is capable of putting in big mileages – day after day. The large sail plan is balanced by a powerful keel, ensuring seakindly sailing performance. High quality equipment throughout gives peace of mind in any conditions. And, when it is time to motor, the variable pitch Hundested propeller can punch its way into tough seas. Close quarters manoeuvring is easily handled with assistance from the bowthruster. The stylish arch behind the twin steering stations serves a number of functions. It anchors the main¬sheet, keeping the cockpit free of lines. It also pro¬vides support for the demountable cockpit cover, affording welcome shelter from the tropical sun. The cockpit is superbly appointed for alfresco en¬tertaining, with a clever multi-fold table providing seating for 12. For those who want to feel the wind in their hair, the teak cockpit bench that straddles the transom is a favourite haunt. Easy access to and from the water is via the wide boarding platform set into the transom. A large tender is carried on the stainless hydraulic davits, which make lifting and launching simplicity itself
