2002 Alloy Yachts 53m Ketch

A world-class superyacht! Designed by Dubois Naval Architect, this magnificent ketch boasts sleek, flowing lines and timeless elegance. She was built in aluminum by the talented Alloy Yachts shipyard in New Zealand. Her exceptional strength and excellent seaworthiness have enabled it to complete several circumnavigations. Furthermore, it is one of the highest-performance cruising yachts over 50 meters on the market. She offers exhilarating cruising speeds of up to 20 knots and regularly reaches around 15 knots. This performance is due to her superb hull, but also to her very high-end equipment: Two Marten Spars carbon fiber masts and two furling booms (58 m main mast and 44 m mizzen mast), Nitronic Rod rigging, Reckmann hydraulic furlers for the reacher, genoa, and staysail, 17 Lewmar hydraulic winches (including 11 captive), North Sails wardrobe (450 m² mainsail + 430 m² genoa + 210 m² staysail + 640 m² reacher + 320 m² mizzen mainsail + 370 m² mizzen jib) allowing her to carry 1,200 m² upwind and nearly 1,800 m² downwind. This sailing yacht can accommodate 11 passengers in 5 cabins and 9 crew members in 6 cabins. Her flybridge, perfectly integrated aft of the top roof, is divided into two areas: The aft is dedicated to guests, with a dining area to port, featuring a teak table surrounded by a U-shaped bench seat and another single bench seat, and a lounge to starboard, featuring an L-shaped sofa in front of a coffee table. This area is equipped with a refrigerator and an icemaker. The crew area is forward. There is a console in the middle, with all the winch control joysticks, and helm stations on either side with their instrument consoles, steering wheels, and helm benches. This area is shaded by a bimini. The main tender is recessed into the foredeck and covered by a tarpaulin. The large cockpit is fully protected by a fixed bimini. It features a saloon with a V-shaped sofa in front of a coffee table, and a dining area with an oval table flanked by a semicircular bench seat and three folding armchairs. In the transom, a hydraulic door swings open, transforming it into a swimming platform. The interior of the main deck is completely open and bathed in natural light thanks to the large side windows. The luxurious design is by George Spencer. The glossy woodwork is accentuated by cream-colored furniture and carpeting. Colorful textiles and modern artwork create a peaceful and warm atmosphere. A bar is located on either side of the main deck entrance, with access stairs to the lower deck cabins in the middle. Next, the large saloon, with its two sofas and two armchairs around the coffee table, is to port. The audio-visual unit, with a Bose system and a large-screen television, and two other armchairs face it to starboard. The dining room, for eight people, is on the port side, with a sofa and armchair on the port side. Separated by a glass partition, the wheelhouse occupies the entire width and has direct access to the gangways through
