Asahi

READ LISTING DISCLAIMER

Her sleek aluminium hull, teak decks and carbon-fibre rig give ASAHI a purposeful profile, while her deck arrangement has been designed to separate guest relaxation from sail handling. A large social cockpit provides an inviting setting for dining and entertaining, while the aft helm cockpit keeps the working areas concentrated away from the main guest spaces. Wide transom steps create easy access to the water and tender.

One of ASAHI’s strongest features is her unusually flexible accommodation. She sleeps eight guests in four ensuite staterooms, each of which can be arranged as either a twin or king-size cabin. The two forward cabins can also be combined to form a much larger Master suite with a centreline king bed and separate his-and-hers bathrooms. This flexibility makes her especially well suited to owners who regularly cruise with different combinations of family and guests.

The interior is bright and welcoming, finished in light birch wood with a spacious main saloon offering dining for eight and a separate lounge and entertainment area. The galley is positioned aft and has been designed for professional-level service, while accommodation for four to five crew in three cabins, including a dedicated Captain’s cabin, supports both private and fully crewed operation.
Performance remains central to ASAHI’s appeal. Under sail, the specification records cruising speeds of 12 to 15 knots, with significantly higher speeds achieved in favourable conditions. Auxiliary propulsion is provided by a 380 HP Cummins QSB 6.7 diesel engine driving a five-blade Max Prop Whisper propeller, with around 9 knots quoted under power at cruising rpm.

ASAHI has also benefited from an extensive refit programme that renewed or upgraded many of her key systems, including the main engine, generators, watermakers, rigging, electrical infrastructure, navigation and communications equipment, air conditioning, interior finishes and galley equipment. These works significantly modernised the yacht while preserving the performance character and flexible layout that define her.
With her aluminium construction, carbon rig, proven performance, four convertible guest suites and comprehensive technical upgrades, ASAHI represents an attractive opportunity for an owner seeking a capable and distinctive sailing yacht with genuine cruising versatility.
