ESCAPE OF LONDON according to the official J. Hargrave book is a true Jack Hargrave masterpiece, “Perhaps the best yacht the public has never seen”. An explorer and fisherman’s dream with 5,000 nm range, retractable Naiad stabilizers, and exceptional stability and silence thanks to total sound insulation and vibration-free systems. Built for adventure and comfort in cold water climates she features a furnaced heated air throughout and chilled water A/C air-conditioning. A 5,000 lb. capacity crane for larger tenders and a spacious cockpit for easy and safe access to the water. A high high-quality interior with impressive beam and crew quarters. Escape of London combines pedigree, efficiency, and simplicity. Perhaps Hargrave’s finest yacht ever built, offering unparalleled capability and elegance for true long-range exploration. ESCAPE OF LONDON is in original and well-preserved condition. She is usable As Is or an opportunity for a light interior refit, allowing the new owner to customize to their personal taste.
