"ALKEMI" is a fiberglass constructed aft cockpit cutter rigged sailing vessel with diesel auxiliary. She has a raked bow with bow thruster, fin keel, skeg-hung rudder, and reversed transom with molded boarding platform. She has an in-furling mainmast and auxiliary power is provided by a 100 Hp Yanmar marine turbo diesel. On deck, starting forward, is a stainless steel bow railing, Harken furling unit for jib, and recessed anchor locker with enclosed electric anchor windlass. Walking aft, there is a second furling unit for the staysail and a deck hatch that opens to the forward cabin. The cabin trunk is fitted with aluminum-framed acrylic deck hatches, dorade boxes, teak handholds, flexible solar panels on top, and opening ports along the sides. The decks and cabintop surfaces have a teak overlay and there is a teak cap rail with lifeline stanchions mounted on top. All sail control lines lead aft to the cockpit. The cockpit is arranged with a pedestal-mounted wheel helm. The pedestal also supports engine throttle and gear controls, navigation electronics, and a folding cockpit table. Sail control lines lead back to the cockpit and are handled by jammer clutches and winches. The cockpit area is shielded by a wraparound windscreen and further aft is a fiberglass-covered stainless steel targa arch, then a stainless steel solar panel, and antenna arch over the transom area. The arches and windscreen support Sunbrella awnings. There is a wind generator on a stainless steel post located at the aft port corner. A centerline gate in the stern railing leads down to the molded boarding platform with built-in seats on each side and a centerline swing- down boarding ladder.
Down below, starting forward, is a private V-berth cabin, followed by an enclosed head to port and stand-alone enclosed shower to starboard. Walking aft, the main salon is arranged with U-shaped settee to port with leafed dining table that lowers and converts the settee in to a queen berth. Aft of the settee is a U-shaped galley with two-burner LPG stove with oven, top-loading reefer, and double stainless steel sink. There is a top-loading freezer under the aft outboard cushion of the dining settee. Opposite the settee to port are twin bucket seats on either side of a built-in cocktail table, and aft of this is a forward-facing navigation desk, followed by a second enclosed head. Aft of the head and galley are private quarter berth cabins. The engine compartment is located below the cockpit between each quarter berth cabin and is accessible by the swing-up companionway ladder, by removable panels on each side, or by a hatch in the cockpit well. The engine room also houses a diesel generator and a water maker.
The hull, decks, and superstructures are constructed of solid and balsa-cored fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). The interior hull structures consist of bulkheads, frames, stringers, and built-ins. The ballast is encapsulated within the keel. The mast is deck stepped. The boat is built to Malo yachts factory specifications.
