"Undoubtedly the best blue water sailing yacht in production today"
– John Kretschmer
"Beautiful yacht and a fantastic design, Excellent sail!"
– Peter Nielsen, Sail Magazine
Design without compromise.
Raised tank fillers and drainage protect the deck and the environment from accidental spills when refueling and eliminate the possibility of sea, or rainwater entering the fuel system.
The Zero Keel
The hull is laid up with 17-22 layers of composite engineered fabrics.
The Alpha Rudder
A fully protected skeg-hung rudder. Three independent bearings which are easily serviced, even when afloat or even on passage.
Collision points
Ultra heavy layup hull comprising a minimum of 20 layers of engineered composite fibres, including Aramids, for total collision protection.
Build structure
All frames and stringers are bonded in by hand lay up, no vulnerable after bonded grid matrix is used.
Concave bulwark
A deep concave moulded bulwark makes for a solid foothold when working on deck in heavy weather.
80cm Stanchions
With triple wire safety lines for additional safety when working on deck.
Solent rig
The perfect rig for all points of sail and wind strengths. All sail setting, trimming and furling can be done by one person from the safety of the cockpit, making it the rig of choice for short handling long distance cruising.
Recessed covered fuel filling
Raised tank fillers and drainage protect the deck and the environment from accidental spills when refueling and eliminate the possibility of sea, or rainwater entering the fuel system.
Triple fuel polishing
A tank to tank fuel polishing system means you can be sure you are always running your engine and generator on 100% clean fuel.
