Pendennis and Burgess have announced that the 35m expedition style yacht Project Fox is for sale, with Ian Sherwood from Burgess acting as the central broker. "Burgess has always enjoyed a positive relationship with Pendennis and we are delighted to be, once again, collaborating on this exciting new build. Combining the best of British talents, this yacht will be a great example of British craftsmanship and a wonderful show piece to the rest of the world," says Ian Sherwood.
Project Fox exterior
The yacht is currently in build at Pendennis’ Falmouth facility. She features interior and exterior styling from Q London. Her steel hull and aluminium superstructure are constructed to RINA commercial classification and she is scheduled for delivery in spring 2023. Project Fox is aptly named after one of Falmouth's most famous sons: Robert Were Fox the Younger. He was a 19th-century scientist who enabled exploration by inventing a compass that measured magnetic dip at sea in high latitudes, a compass that ultimately guided the expedition that discovered the South Pole. The associations between Fox, Falmouth and exploration are ones that resonate strongly in one of the very few genuine explorer yachts of this size.

As well as taking delivery of a brand new yacht with a shortened lead time, the new Owner would also be joining an exceptionally strong build team here at Pendennis with the project engineering and scheduled works in full swing,” says Stephen Hills, Pendennis’ Commercial Director.
