Alibi 54

This is an amazing build, with an incredible eye for detail in its structure and layout. This is not a cookie cutter catamaran and has to be seen and sailed to be fully appreciated. Epoxy carbon construction with honeycomb core, a rotating mast, an incredible bowsprit structure that locks in the front beam with the rest of the boat, making for one extremely stiff and powerful platform. The roller furling boom makes this a very simple boat to reef and sail short-handed and keeps your sail in great condition for many years of enjoyment. This is one safe, simple, high performance catamaran with a redundancy for just about everything.

This catamaran is using racing yacht technology all over. A great example of this is the use of Halyard Constrictors which are an outer casing of rope that is pulled back in a mode that allows the rope to be pulled in our out. As soon as you let this constructer go it immediately binds to the rope and completely locks it under load. This is backed up with traditional jammers on the deck only as a fail safe. It means that the lines last much longer as jammers can point load ropes and wear them out quickly under high loads.

Brilliant inventions, like the dinghy lifting system under the forward trampoline that hoists up from under the bow between the two hulls, locking off on a 4 point safety lock. Not to mention the davits on the back which allow you to lift a dinghy or your water toys such as kayaks. This doubles as submersible platform for recovering divers or swimming off. This simple robust system works on a lever arm off the stern, the ropes come up a channel in each hull and leading to a winch. No electric motors or hydraulics to worry about.

The boat has just undergone a major refit in Opua, New Zealand which included a new paint job, brand new engines and generator, new sails new standing and running rigging.

Power management is extremely well thought out with 14 lithium batteries replaced in 2023, boasting 8064 Ah all monitored by a Victron Skyla system, each cell being individually monitored. The brand new Fischer Panda 10kw generator to provide power on the rare occasions the 16 solar panels cant keep up. The 210kw inverters make sure the crew never has to second guess power consumption.

Then there is the layout it's pretty traditional as you walk abord. It has 2 helm stations slightly more inboard than your standard twin helm set up. You have a generous table for dining on the back deck and as you come through the doors you have the nav station starboard side forward and galley to the port side. Moving forward there are full size mirrors in the door so you can get ready for special occasions and make sure you are looking as sharp as the boat.

The starboard hull is for guests and crew with the middle of the hulls. Second heads and shower can be shared with crew in the forward cabin or guests in the aft cabin. As you move forward step into the shower and heads with a carbon fibre sink; a nod to the boats performance construction. Further forward again is a kids bunk room, with wide steps built into the hull. The interior is bright, minimalist and sleek.

Your guests have the ability to come and go directly from the cockpit to their cabin through an ingenious cabin door system. Down the steps to port is the owner's side with a lovely cabin aft. The separate entrance to the cockpit connects the cabin to the outdoors, embracing the flow to the deck, stepping down into a beautifully furnished master cabin.

There are too many unique features, equipment and systems to completely summerise this boat in one page. The build quality of this boat, the inventions, the simple use of modern technology, the fresh new modern layout and the sheer speed of this boat will have you shaking with delight.
