She was designed by world renowned naval architect Ron Holland and built by O. Vicente Belliure at the Astilleros Belliure yard in Calpe Spain. Upon careful examination of this vessel, one will notice that that no compromises have been made in terms of safety, quality, or comfort. This vessel was finished to exacting standards using only the best materials and equipment. If you are looking for a strong cruiser or racer this vessel deserves your careful consideration.
A unique combination of lovely cruising amenities and excellent performance at a very affordable price. All halyards and sheets lead aft to oversized self-tailing winches, the jib is roller furling, the cockpit is large and comfortable; characteristics which allow her to be easily sailed by a couple or single-handed. At the same time the hull, foils and rig by Ron Holland with refinements by Jim Taylor -both noted for their race boat designs -produce fast and powerful yacht which can make you the star of your local PHRF fleet. Above all else, she is gorgeous both at the dock and under sail.

The loss of signal sets off an MOB alarm which turns the boat head to wind and HOLDs it there until (a) the skipper climbs back aboard and disengages the MOB function or (b) the remaining crew reads the NKE displays for distance and bearing to the MOB and makes a successful retrieval. There are also programmable EPIRB and distress signal functions. The NKE system installed is the same system found on boats like those in the Vendee Globe and cost in excess of $50K.
