Asiamarine, the regional dealer headquartered in Hong Kong, has announced the recent sale of a new Solaris 44, Black Pearl, a collaboration with Italy’s Solaris Yachts. The Solaris 44 is scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong in November.
The 13.35m sailing yacht is designed for fast cruising with a reduced crew, due to all lines being led to just two winches within easy reach of the helmsman. The mainsail traveller is totally recessed, while winches on the coaming deploy the asymmetrical spinnaker. The boat can also be used for relaxed cruising and competitive racing.
The deck includes a roomy sail locker, large cockpit lockers and an independent storage space for the liferaft. The widest part of the hull extends aft, with twin rudder blades aiding efficiency at any angle of heel. She is equipped with furling boom, electric winches, self-tacking jib, furling Code65 and G2.
Below deck, the beam of 4.18m (13ft 9in) allows for two double guest cabins aft, while forward are a galley to port and day head to starboard, full-beam saloon and the owner’s cabin with ensuite bathroom in the bow.
