Blue Bird 32m CLASSIC MOTOR YACHT

The Owner tracked down this classic yacht, originally built for speed king, Sir Malcolm Campbell, and found her unloved in Rotterdam. She was completely rebuilt in Palma, Mallorca over three years. Bannenberg & Rowell developed an interior which borrowed freely from styling cues from the 1930s and 1940s, but is overarched by a contemporary aesthetic. Every millimetre was fought for to preserve headroom and space. Still a great favourite of the Owner, she has retraced Sir Malcolm’s steps to South American and beyond.

She won the World Superyacht Award for Best Refit in 2008.
