Manufacturer Provided Description
Long-range sailing even with a small crew: this is what we asked Doug Peterson in designing Solaris 53 DS. The planning choices led us to build a semi-custom yacht with very functional solutions: an all-round hull with moderate rakes for smooth sailing over waves, high-level performances both by sail and by motor, double cock-pit to separate the manoeuvring from the guest area, interior luminosity guaranteed by a deckhouse with wide windows elegantly linked to the sprayhood base. The interior layout is planned for utmost comfort with special attention to stowage space; the interior decoration and even the smallest details are chosen together with the owner, the care in building is excellent everywhere. Solaris 53 DS is planned to give you emotions all over the world!
