2017 SASGA YACHTS MINORCHINO 54  

Sasga Yachts build vessels with origins as far back as the Latin sailing boats that ploughed through the Mediterranan Sea crewed by Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Egyptians. These boats became commonly know as "Llauts".
A long way from these historical beginnings the Sasga Yachts Minorchino 54 (available as a Hard Top or Flybridge) is a luxury yacht - secure, comfortable and technologically advanced - as their design has been adapted to today.
Offering a refreshing alternative to the many 'similar looking' semi-displacement and planning boats, the new Minorchino 54 is built from sandwich composites by Sasga Yachts in Menorca Spain, and has been designed by Barracuda Yacht Design, who took 'retro' inspiration from the renowned sea-keeping and practical nature of centuries old "Llaüts" - traditional, multi-chine boats used by Balearic fishermen still today.
Retaining the basic characteristics of the original design - a plumb bow with high freeboard, combined with rounded stern sections and a beam width with proportions carried almost the entire length of the hull - the designers of the Monorchino 54 have evolved and refined the original concept, with special attention paid to efficiency in all areas; including good fuel economy and importantly for today's cruising, low noise and vibration. In essence, the designers have turned this traditional design into a comfortable, efficient and practical option for today's leisure users.
The Minorchino 54 is designed from the outset for long voyages, passage making or time at sea. It has the elegance of a classic yacht and a seaworthiness demanded by todays mariners. CE Certification - A Ocean - which is the highest recreational boat category, designed for extended voyages with winds of over Beaufort Force 8 (over 40 knots), and significant wave heights above 13 feet, but excluding abnormal conditions such as hurricanes.
The foredeck area is wide and easily and safely accessed by the wide "walk around decks", whilst the aft deck or cockpit is a wde terrace of 14 square metres offering a wide variety of uses and ideally suited for Alfresco dining and entertainment.
A large swim-platform enables easy access for swimming and diving. Looking around the boat, subtle influences, such as a traditional wooden stem post, wooden navigation mast and traditional anchor roller at the bow, serve as pleasant reminders that this design has its roots set in the past.
Entered through tall 'patio-style' doors the large main cabin is a spacious saloon dominated by tall windows and generous head-room offering superb all round visibility and plenty of natural incoming light. The well laid out, functional two place helm position is on the starboard side. The Sasga Minorchino 54's large main cabin features a sofa and panoramic U shaped dining layout. As well as the six panoramic side windows the HT saloon has two overhead opening hatches and wide opening saloon doors to the large cockpit area. Tasteful, unadorned seat and cushion fabrics keep the mood calm and relaxing. The warm oak timber furniture and timber finishes complete the classical and practical ambience of the boat.
