BRAND NEW 60FT CLIPPER “SERICA” OWNED BY CHRIS WILSON

Chris’s Clipper went into the shed at 60Ft and came out a 65Ft Clipper.  The extensive addition is completely seamless and in no area can evidence of the massive surgery be seen.  The rest of the vessel has copped a huge customization by the owners keen eye for detail, seaworthiness and style.  The vessel has since departed to Newcastle to hitch a ride as deck cargo to the Mediterranean where Chris and Claudia will spend 6 months cruising.   AME wishes them all the very best and hope they enjoy their new boat.
