Watching an image of this sailboat we stay flabbergasted, there is no doubt about it, it is a poem to the great life and beauty and talking about its benefits they leave us breathless, but there is something just a few know and that makes it a yacht without any comparisons: the owners were involved inch by inch in everything related to its design and construction.
Enough to say that the length of this impressive vessel is over fifty two meters long, all the canvas and the masts gives us an idea of the quantity of air of which this imposing beauty may benefit from which slightly slides over the ocean’s surface without showing any effort thanks to the impressive one thousand one hundred and twenty seven square meters of sailing surface (1,127 m2).
The exterior is elegant and practical and the arrangement of the sails and of the masts as well as the excellent planning and engineering makes that besides of the obvious propelling capacity of the sails, to be a complete spectacle watching them unfurled to their maximum capacity. Approaching ourselves a little more to the descriptive part, the high bridge is the place by excellence to enjoy the life outdoors, in the most sunny days we have an oasis at our disposal, thanks to the large Jacuzzi, in addition a canopy placed in the bow of this deck also protects us. For those who enjoy the sun there are several places in this high bridge where they can enjoy it, with the convenience of being a few steps away from the bar.
Descending one level, gaining access by the stern or by the bow, we find the main command bridge; a lounge designed expressly with this purpose here is the place where the routes and resupplying spots of the trip are decided.
Going down to the main deck the large space awaiting for us surprises us, outdoors we find a table with the shape of a half-moon which is protected by a stiff roof, entering the indoors there is a roomy dining table behind which there is a den with a sofa “L” shaped and two individual seats to starboard which complements the room, as the center piece of this social and recreational area there is a huge plasma screen, forward towards the bow we find the kitchen and the area for the crew members, it is also in this deck where the two auxiliary motorboats are stored. Almost in the stern are two semi-circled armchairs opposing each other, this is a perfect spot to enjoy an after-lunch conversation while we gaze at the sundown.
At last, in the lower deck there are the cabins, for the guests as well as for the crew members, what attracts the attention the most is the owner’s enormous cabin with a bathroom that occupies all the space breadthways, it has two bathrooms for his and hers divided by a large dressing room and there is a lounge on port and the bedroom is placed starboard. Ahead is a cabin with twin beds, and one with a queen size bed both each one with their bathroom and finally a cabin with a queen size bed and opposing one with a queen size and a twin bed, towards the bow there are the four crew’s cabins.
In short, it is a boat with a distinctive hallmark thanks to the eagerness of a team and to the passion placed by the owners in each detail of their enormous floating palace.
