New Discovery Mk II Enhancements The new version of the classic and winning design of the Discovery 55 has come to fruition from the wealth of experience of Discovery owners. Drawing from the knowledge of hundreds of thousands of miles of how the boat is used, the Mark II 55 improvements include even more light in the raised saloon; a sleek profile similar to our stylish flagship – the Discovery 67; flush deck hatches and improved sunbathing areas. Significant options include a more spacious cockpit and twin vertical portlights in the master cabin. Attributes of the NEW Discovery 55 Mk II...
