Superyacht owner Kim Vibe-Petersen talks about his 54 metre sailing yacht Parsifal III

With masts taller than Big Ben at nearly 100 meters in height, S/Y A had managed to provide a top speed of 20 knots without using her sails during sea trials.

The topside focal point of Beneteau's new Oceanis line is the central cockpit arch; it serves as the mainsheet anchor, the dodger and bimini frame, and provides secure handholds. Twin wheels and the award-winning fold-down electric transom are strong features. Several interior options provide style and comfort. The Beneteau Oceanis 48 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase. Read a review here.
