Watson Expedition Yachts

There are things in this world that you either love or hate and the Watson Expedition yachts are just that. Built for serious blue water cruising, they have it all - the luxurious interior and accommodations and the real seaworthiness. What makes them different from  the rest of todays yachts in their class is that day look like they are built to cross the oceans. Or in the words of K.C. Barnaby, one of the leading naval architects, whose philosophy the builders of Watson Expedition yachts follow:

"The general appearance of a ship should be indicative of her main function. If a yacht is intended for ocean cruising, the lines should convey an impression of rugged seaworthiness and not of fragile grace or of rapidity of motion. The reverse is true of an up-river vessel which will obviously never have to face heavy weather and which should always look light and neat. On such a type sturdiness will appear to be clumsiness."
