Yachting previously wrote: “The Palm Beach 55 is the latest incarnation of the downeast-style lobster-boat-turned-yacht. There have been a number of predecessors, including those actually built somewhere in the Northeast. There have been some Down (Far) East versions built in the Orient, some Down (Over) East yachts built in Italy and a stylish Down West line from the Pacific Northwest, but this is the first Down Under lobster-yacht. And, as the Aussies say on her home turf, “she’s a right corker,” meaning something better than excellent. Company owner Mark Richards is arguably Australia’s best-known sailor and an America’s Cup veteran, so it’s no accident that these yachts blend fine craftsmanship, thoughtful design and advanced construction materials and methods.”
