Featured Boat 50' Seahorse 52 MotorSailer 2009 US$ 499,000 MANDARIN 52' LOA FULLY EQUIPPED MOTORSAILER, MODERN DESIGN. THE MANDARIN 52 base price includes delivery to the U.S. east or west coast, custom's duty paid, commissioning and full warranty is $599.000. Any sales tax or VAT will be the buyer's responsibility. The wholesale factory delivery price, with limited warranty, is U.S.$499,000. There is absolutely no tax here on these boats. When, perhaps at the end of your cruise, you permanently import a vessel into a country than there may be custom's duties and possibly sales tax or VAT due. My company, Seahorse Marine, has been building passagemakers at our factory in Zhuhai, China, for 21 years. We mainly sell our vessels directly to the end user providing a fine product at great savings. Build time is around 12 months for the Mandarin 52, depending on suppliers, current orders and weather. The Mandarin 52 foot motorsailer (50' + a 2' swim/dive/boarding platform) is my favorite passagemaker. I seem to be building more power-only trawler yachts lately. But, personally I have never figured out why people want to rely on mechanical devices in the middle of the ocean while throwing away a wind equaling their boat speed, which they paid for - and than worrying about fuel?? The Mandarin is a full keel no nonsense motorsailer, 52' LOA with a 56' mast. Furling on all sails is standard and Harken electric winches makes sail handling a breeze. The forward arrangements can be the traditional "V" berth cabin and a second double bunk cabin to port or a single queen size cabin. A head with separate shower is located to starboard. Aft of the very large main saloon, 10 by 15 feet, are the galley to port and the large workshop to starboard. A spiral staircase leads to the pilothouse with its own dinette and to the cockpit. The aft cabin has a head with a full size tub, Jacuzzi optional, or large shower. The standard layout has a centered queen size bed and eight feet of hanging locker space. An optional den/office arrangement has the bed to starboard, a large centered desk with a panorama view through the transom and a small sofa to port. Click "Full Specs" above for pictures and detailed information. Click on "PASSAGEMAKERS DIRECT", below, for direct purchasing and additional motorsailer information. I would love to build a Mandarin 52 motorsailer for you and I'm sure it would more than meet your expectations. Contact me if you have any questions or comments. Bill Kimley
