The Mulder 88 Flybridge offers The Best of Both Worlds in various ways. Firstly, she breaks fresh ground in terms of her performance at both ends of the cruising spectrum. A sturdy profile combined with an ingenious hull design offers excellent performance at slower, heavy-weather speeds. What truly sets the Mulder 88 Flybridge apart, however, is that she also has the ability to reach fast speeds of up to 27 knots. And her unique, newly developed round-bilged hull, built to Lloyd's specifications, guarantees you a superb trim and stability whatever speed you choose to cruise.
Below decks, the Mulder 88 Flybridge combines exclusive Dutch standards of luxury and comfort with the practical design and top-drawer facilities that you'd expect from a bluewater yacht. The interior can be fully customised to your requirements in terms of layout, functionality and styling. And you can also choose from a wide range of leisure and recreation options, depending on how active you prefer your sailing lifestyle.
The Mulder 88 Flybridge seen here has a traditional interior, with a wealth of cherrywood panelling. The main lounge is laid out for informal leisure and has a bright and breezy feel. To starboard lies an impressive cabinet: as well as storing glasswork, the giant plasma screen television drops down electronically into the back section when not in use. This TV forms part of a state-of-the-art audio/visual entertainment system.
With the owner's children frequently on board, the interior has been optimised for safety, with every edge rounded off on the furniture, walls and panels. Classic furniture is matched with nautical fabrics and upholstery. Other highlights include the use of rich blue and cream carpets, and the Alcantara fabric ceiling panels.
Made of cherrywood, the dining table is flanked on two sides by built-in benches. The galley is well equipped, while the wheelhouse includes a blue leather observation sofa and pilot's seat, plus the latest navigation and communication equipment.
The full-beam owner's stateroom is luxurious and cosy in equal measure. The rich red tones of the fabrics on the four-poster bed are matched by the cushions on an inviting portside sofa. Opposite the sofa is a dedicated study area. A walk-in changing area is located aft on the port side, complete with three large wardrobes and a full-length mirror.
The rest of the beam is taken up by the owners bathroom, complete with bath, separate shower and double sink. A superb oil painting mural surrounds three sides of the bath. A connecting door forward leads to the small children's room, containing two cot-type beds with railings and a nappy changing facility to starboard. Of course you can customise your layout anyway you choose. For example, you can put in a door to starboard, turning this space into a separate, self-contained guest cabin.
Meanwhile, there is still room for two other guest cabins: on this Mulder 88 Flybridge, the owner opted for a VIP with double bed and a cabin with twins. Good-quality accommodation for three crew is found aft on the lower deck.
The state-of-the-art technology for which the Mulder yard is famed is seen throughout. Sound and vibration levels are exceptionally low, and all the equipment used for air-conditioning, decks, doors and the like is of the finest standard available. The piping, cabling and other technical aspects have all been discretely incorporated to the highest standard.
You have a wide choice of al fresco facilities on the Mulder 88 Flybridge. Complete with outside bar and seating for eight, the aft deck can be completely enclosed by a canvas windowed awning. Leave the sliding door open to create one extended main deck, a far larger relaxation area than you would expect on a yacht of this size.
The flybridge deck is a magnificent spot, with a whirlpool, loungers, a dining table for eight, light cooking facilities, a wet bar and easily enough space to house a wave-runner and other watersports toys. The helm position on this deck offers you both complete control of the yacht plus magnificent views.
Although the Mulder 88 Flybridge equals the performance of explorer-type vessels in rough seas, her graceful profile ensures both the speed and looks of a luxury yacht. Long sleek lines encompass classic themes such as a flared bow, slanted wheelhouse windows and fashion plates. There are modern features too: the aft deck design, the shape and setting of the window groups, and the continuous black stripe. An optional blue hull gives a speedy look, while the long nose reflects a mix of design and functionality, with the tender storage being in the foredeck. The tender itself is covered by an hydraulic hatch and launched by hydraulic crane. source and photos by Mulder to learn more Click Here
