Origin Yachts presents: Colvic Watson 23’6” “Pacif”

Extensively Upgraded | Long Keel Pilothouse Cruiser | Bow Thruster

Origin Yachts are pleased to offer “Pacif”, a 1978 Colvic Watson 23’6” built by Colvic Craft Ltd & F.W. Carrington & Sons. A traditionally styled and heavily constructed GRP long-keel cruiser, she has benefitted from significant structural, mechanical, and electrical upgrades since 2016.

This is not a standard example. Major works include ballast replacement with lead ingots, drivetrain renewal, electrical refit, sail upgrades, and the installation of a bow thruster. She presents as a solid and thoughtfully improved coastal cruising yacht.
