Francesca of Fowey is, quite simply, one of the very best examples of a Mystery 35 afloat. She is absolutely stunning, and with her extensive upgrades she must be among the most comprehensively equipped Mystery 35s anywhere. Her long-term owners have invested heavily and thoughtfully, commissioning new sails, full rigging renewal, a topsides respray and a complete Coppercoat refresh, all carried out by respected specialists at Mylor. The result is a yacht that feels far more up-to-date than her build year suggests.

Francesca of Fowey is the sort of boat that immediately gives confidence: smart, well-sorted, and clearly cherished. For anyone seeking a fast, capable, genuinely enjoyable cruising yacht with real pedigree she will be a pleasure to step aboard and an even greater pleasure to sail.
