Review of Sovereign 54
Basic specs..
The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The boat is equipped with 757.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
The Sovereign 54 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.13 - 2.23 meter (6.99 - 7.29 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Sovereign 54 is 1.95, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 9.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Sovereign 54 is about 450 kg/cm, alternatively 2523 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 450 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 2523 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.

This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.
From the drawing board of Phil Southwell and built by John Robertson Yachts, GOLDEN SOVEREIGN is possibly the finest example of these stunning blue water machines.
One owner since new and a circumnavigation under her keel she was refitted at the factory in 2010 and then sailed across the Atlantic to Trinidad. Some Family health issues delayed further sailing. Owners have returned to Trinidad every couple of years to check on her and now have decided to sell . She has been kept on the hard under a plastic tent so is in remarkably good condition.
Lots of good stuff on board! check the specs.
Reputedly one of the fastest sailing cruisers built. Professionally Skippered by her owner and lovingly maintained, she is presented in shut down and stored condition waiting for some lucky yachtsman to get lucky. She is as much at home as a place to relax and entertain as she is charging across the oceans. Twin wheels are the giveaway to her racing pedigree and her compliment of winches and running rigging are a joy to behold. She has a huge cockpit and a large bathing platform making her extremely sociable.
Seriously for sale with offers invited.

Fountaine Pajot MY5 Reviewed
- By Sam White
- August 28, 2024
The MY5, the first flybridge catamaran in the Fountaine Pajot powercat line and previously known as the MY40, pushes the boundaries of powercat cruising in speed, safety and style.
Thanks to its dual-hull cat design with suspended central platform, the MY5 offers increased interior volume, long range and stability, at rest and underway. Powercats are also highly efficient, requiring less propulsion to achieve similar speeds and ranges as conventional monohull vessels.
The flybridge deck is a standout feature, offering virtually unobstructed 360-degree ocean views and an elevated beach club vibe. Aft of the off-center starboard helm is a spacious area perfect for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, refrigeration center, and seating. It’s the most popular space aboard, according to the builder. If the weather turns, a second helm station in the salon allows the skipper to pilot the MY5 in climate-controlled comfort.
On the main deck, architect Daniel Andrieu and the Andreani Design team created a modern yet timeless look, maximizing the use of space offered by the vessel’s nearly 20-foot beam. The galley, located on the starboard side, connects both interior and exterior spaces while the foredeck offers a sunbather’s paradise with dual lounges and abundant seating.
At the stern, an optional hydraulic swim platform lowers for launching a PWC or small tender. A swim ladder provides easy access from the water. The teak cockpit has an L-shaped settee and easy access to the engines via deck hatches. Crew safety is a priority, with secure grab rails along the spiral staircase leading to the flybridge and tall railings along the walkaround alleys fore and aft.
Belowdecks, the Maestro layout includes an owner’s suite with a private companionway for added privacy. The stateroom, equipped with a transverse queen berth, gets natural light via hullside windows. The VIP stateroom has a similar-sized berth, while the forward guest stateroom offers twin bunks. Two heads and enough stowage space for extended cruising complete the accommodations.
The Fountaine Pajot MY5 is standard with twin 300 hp diesels and Volvo Penta IPS drives and has a 1,000-nautical-mile range at an economical 18 knots. With optional 440 hp engines, the MY5 has a top hop of 22 knots, and with a draft of just 3 feet, 6 inches, shallow-water anchorages are easily accessible.
