55m superyacht Lady A on the market
The 55-metre Sterling Yachts superyacht, Lady A, is for sale. Launched in 1986, the motor yacht for sale features original exterior and interior design from the late Jon Bannenberg, whose son later founded design firm, Bannenberg & Rowell. Her current interiors are the work of Design Unlimited.

During the €12 million, year-long refit the Sterling yacht for sale underwent a full hull repaint, now sporting a light grey coat, new teak decking and received a newly designed interior complete with walnut cabinetry and solid wooden flooring.
Lady A features six staterooms, comprised of three double guest cabins, en suites with showers and dressing areas on the lower deck, one VIP guest cabin with twin beds, convertible to a double, on the main deck, en suite with shower and dressing room, and one twin guest cabin on the main deck, en suite with shower.
The 879 GT superyacht received an extension to her hull, increasing her exterior spaces. She now features a newly designed sundeck complete with sunbathing areas, a full bar, Jacuzzi and sun awnings. Technical aspects such as an overhaul to her mechanical and electrical systems and the installation of Quantum zero-speed stabilisers were also complete.
The yacht for sale cruises at 13 knots, reaching a top speed of 18 knots and had her twin Caterpillar 3512B diesel engines rebuilt in January 2021.
