WILD HORSES (ex-White Eagle II) is a well-balanced, capable passagemaker, designed by Robert H. Perry and built by James Betts Enterprises to sail far, fast, and in comfort. Her aluminum hull and composite deck offer an ideal combination of strength, stiffness, and ease of maintenance. Designed for long-distance cruising, she’s equally at home on a transoceanic passage or exploring closer-to-home coastlines.
For the past 15 years, she has been sailed by a couple who have thoughtfully refined her systems and setup. All sail controls lead aft to the cockpit, and with five electric winches, she’s easy to handle, even with a small crew. She performs well in light winds yet is built to take on challenging conditions and can even tackle the Northwest Passage. Her striking lines and purposeful design turn heads in any anchorage.
Her interior is spacious and practical, with 6’9” headroom, two staterooms, and an additional bunk room that doubles as a mechanical space. There is copious, conveniently located storage space throughout. The hard dodger, with 6’2” headroom, provides excellent protection and can be enclosed to function as a pilothouse. A well-appointed galley, generous storage, and smartly laid-out systems make extended cruising comfortable and efficient.
Built in the U.S., WILD HORSES would make a strong candidate for expedition sailing, a performance-minded charter, or an owner looking for a yacht that balances capability with ease of handling. She’s ready for her next adventure.
