The Bull 7000 represents a radical departure from traditional coastal cruisers, functioning as a highperformance sportsboat that surprisingly retains the amenities required for weekend voyaging. Designed by New Zealander Greg Young and built in the United Kingdom by Parker Yachts, the vessel was envisioned as a "cruisersports" hybrid. It aimed to capture the exhilarating downwind speeds of the 1990s skiff revolution while maintaining the stability and safety of a ballasted keel boat. The design features a distinctive plumb bow, a wide beam carried well aft, and a sophisticated lifting keel mechanism that aligns perfectly with Parker Yachts' historical specialization in shallowdraft vessels. While many sportsboats of this era were strippedout racing machines, the Bull 7000 sought a middle ground, offering a level of versatility that allowed it to compete in club racing on Saturday and cruise with a small family on Sunday.
