Apsara

This magnificent 56m / 184ft ketch was realised by an outstanding team of specialists. Exceptional co-operation from the highly talented client team ensured a harmonious build and a highly successful outcome. A strongly co-operative culture was established from the outset, with all team members as focused on understanding and contributing to their colleagues’ individual objectives and the wider goals of the project as they were to delivering on their own specific responsibilities. This concerted approach led to the emergence of a design-led sail plan, carefully crafted to deliver the owners’ requirements, with sail crossovers, integration of the sail and boom package, ease of use and low maintenance factors all pushing the design process forward.

From almost any angle, the perfectly judged sheer and long overhangs of the lender hull, crowned by its majestic rig, provoke admiring comments. The hull lines and traditional deckhouses say ‘classical purity’ yet the clean, spare execution and modern detailing on deck could be equally at home on a far more contemporary yacht. This is no easy trick to pull off but, by paying attention to detail in every aspect, the team have succeeded in achieving ‘classical modernity’ that others might only dream of.
