A Word From The Owners:

"We have sailed from Florida to French Polynesia, more than 26,000 nm. The captain has been in the boating industry for over 40 years both as a captain and the owner of a boat restoration company. The Wind Dragon has been well maintained and has many features that have made our time aboard an enjoyable eight years. This boat is self-contained; with a generator, solar panels, inverter, watermaker, refrigerators, freezer and washer/dryer, you can stay on the hook for months at a time. The cockpit has lots of seating, lighting, and a convenient outside refrigerator. A new Sea-Dec cockpit floor is soft on your feet and easily washes off after a messy day of fishing.    This catamaran has extensive storage including 5 hanging closets (one cedar), large sized provisioning lockers, and shelved outside forward lockers. 

After a lifetime on the water, the captain is ready for a land based adventure.  We are selling our beloved Wind Dragon to travel by motor home in Australia and New Zealand. Since we plan to go directly from French Polynesia to Australia, we are leaving everything needed to live aboard."

The Wind Dragon is a production sailing vessel built by Privilege in France in 1994. The interior of the vessel consists of a main salon, 4 staterooms, full galley, 3 enclosed heads, and two showers (can be 3 by replacing a faucet).  She has overnight accommodations for six people (can be 8 by converting a storage room) and more than ample storage. The vessel was constructed using quality workmanship and marine grade materials throughout. The main construction material in her hull, deck, and superstructure is fiberglass reinforced foam core assembled in sandwich construction to minimize the weight of the vessel while maintaining strength. In addition to the sails, she is powered by two 30 horsepower Diesel engines. 

Privilege Catamaran’s outstanding pedigree, dating back 36 years, remains unmatched as arguably the world’s finest cruising catamaran to be produced in the world.

Built to the highest standards and for discerning, uncompromising owners, they represent the very best one desires in every aspect of their design and build and all the way to the finishing touches. 

For a bit of background, the company was created in 1985 by internationally renowned sailor Phillipe Jeantot (founder of the Vendee Globe yacht race). Based on his unequalled ocean sailing experience and profound understanding of the dynamics of ocean condition, particularly for sailing vessels versus hull design, Jeantot set out to design catamarans who would set a new benchmark in the world of multihull sailing, with an obsession for perfection which applied from construction quality and stability, while at the same time combining comfort, luxury, liveability, durability and without compromising on performance, which is surprisingly outstanding for a yacht without daggerboards, but which elongated transoms improves upwind sailing performance, as well as minimize the dreaded “hobby-horsing” in a short “chop” typical of more stubby modern multihull designs.

Built in France, in the heart of the world’s most dynamic yacht building area at Les Sables d’Olonne, Privilege Catamaran’s reputation for excellence quickly grew to international proportions. They were already industry leader by 1989.

Unlike boats built primarily to satisfy the inexhaustible demand for the charter industry, Privilege addresses a diametrically opposed end of the market, with each boat individually tailored and each and every one of them a statement in itself: luxury on the ocean, superb stability, reliability, safety, performance and durability. 

Step aboard and you will immediately witness for yourself the Privilege pledge for perfection, carefully handcrafted with the finest materials which will sustain life on the ocean’s harsh environment for years ahead without a blemish, and which will undoubtably satisfy your highest demands for luxury and exclusivity.

Our team at Nautilus Yacht Management is proud to introduce you the Privilege 42 ‘Wind Dragon'. Uniquely available on the world’s market and presented in beautiful condition, she may be exactly what you have been looking for, whether you have searched for years or just began to explore options.
