Buizen 48 Pilothouse 'Foxy Lady'

Foxy Lady is Hull #4 of Series 1 and has had only two owners. The striking Buizen 48 Pilot House yacht became an iconic model, showcasing the best of Australian boat building and design. Eddie Buizen's vision was to create a cruising yacht with proper accommodation and single level access whilst maintaining visual contact with the outside world from within the main saloon. The result is that the Buizen 48 has more interior space than almost 48' yacht built. Foxy Lady's hand built cabinetry of teak and other timbers is in great condition. The L shaped dinette is supremely comfortable. The galley area features fridge, freezer, stove, microwave and is well laid out. The galley remains well connected to the saloon area.

Buizen yachts provide have a rich heritage of craftmanship. Each build required more than 10,000 man hours. The Pilot House design allows greater than 180 degree view via the wraparound windscreen. The cockpit and saloon are all on one level providing a lovely indoor / outdoor connection. Whilst the Buizen 48 is a cruising yacht, Foxy Lady claimed first place in the inaugural Round the World Millennium Odyssey Race (2000). The race did not circumnavigate via the Capes.

The yacht can be managed from the aft cockpit or the interior saloon helm. The cockpit helm controls Main and headsail hydraulic furling systems, the electric winches (4), the bow thruster etc. The two winches at the mast are manually operated. The accommodation sleeps 6 in 3 cabins. Foxy Lady's accommodation is designed with the Master Cabin queen size bed. Guest Cabin 1 to (aft port) also has a queen bed. Guest cabin 2 (midship) has twin single beds in pullman style. The Utility cabin (aft starboard) is used for storage and as a workshop. The fittings for installation of a washing machine are in place.
