1989 Gibbs Marine Research – Ron Holland Custom (Lauren L)

The phrase “once in a lifetime” is used far too often for it to be a reality when boats are being sold… But… this really is an opportunity that will never pass you again. This 90-foot sailing yacht is an elegant custom sailing yacht built over a five-year period by one of the most successful yacht building architects in the world Ron Holland, who joined forces with Gibbs Marine Research to produce this masterpiece.  The strong hull and sleek lines of this yacht offer the smoothest sailing. She is fully loaded with a watermaker,  upgraded generator and engine with low hours, new navigation equipment, new fire systems, safety gear, and much more. Lauren L not only lets you experience the ocean in style but also in extraordinary comfort surrounded by large open interior spaces,  furnishings, and an aesthetically pleasing interior and exterior design.

Vessel Performance

The Barient hydraulic winches and Maxwell anchor windlass are driven from the main engine hydraulic pump or can be hooked up to a separate 24V hydraulic system depending on which suits you best. The unique and innovative keel design means that she cuts through the water easily and if you are not looking at her while she passes, any evidence she was there at all quickly vanishes.
