Bruckmann 50 Mkii

The Bruckmann 50 is a no compromise 200% Motorsailer.  This Mark Ellis design redefined motorsailers.  The Bruckmann 50 offers performance that outpaces sailboats and trawlers in her size range.  With a 200 HP John Deere diesel this boat  powers along at 9+ knots.  Reaching in approximately 15 knots of wind she will comfortably sail at 10 knots. 

WINIFRED can be driven from the cockpit or the inside steering station which has 360 degree visibility and is comfortable in any weather.  She has been equipped with bow and stern thrusters for maneuvering in tight spaces.  WINIFRED has the MKII  extended swim platform which provides additional waterline for better performance and additional storage.

Mark Bruckmann is a second generation boat builder.  The Bruckmann Yachts are quality construction with modern systems and classic good looks.

WINIFRED is offered by her original owner who has maintained her in excellent condition. If you are contemplating a move from sail to power this is a design you should consider.  All photos taken October 2014.

Starting forward, the Owner's Cabin has a large V-berth with a Temperpedic mattress filler to create a queen size berth.

There is a large cedar-lined hanging locker and drawer storage under the berth. Interior fabric is ginger-colored Ultrasuede.  To port in the Owner's Cabin is a vanity with mirror and seat.

The Heads are located on the port side. Access to the owner's head is from the forward stateroom or the hall. It is equipped with an Italian marble floor, stainless sink, Corian counters, and VacuFlush head. Next aft is a separate stall shower, which can be accessed from the guest's or owner's head. The shower is designed with a seat and telephone-style shower. There is a teak grate and a storage locker. The guest head is accessed from the hall and can be used as a day head.

Steps lead up the Main Salon and also offer engine room access. The raised salon provides a 360-degree view of the outdoors. A raised settee on the port side is comfortable and offers an exciting view of all the action.  This also converts to a spacious berth by lowering the custom varnished mahogany table. Cushions are stored nearby to fill the space over the table.

To starboard is the inside steering station with full controls and electronics. Steering is hydraulic at the inside station. Two custom chairs flank a mahogany table on the starboard side. The forward chair raises and turns providing a comfortable helm seat at the inside steering station. The side windows slide open and all have screens.

The interior is elegant and cheerful with a lot of the details found in a traditional yacht.
