Licence to Chill presents an exceptional opportunity in the Alibi 54 market. This catamaran, meticulously customized by a renowned Australian racer, stands out among its peers for its unique owner’s version layout and high-performance capabilities.
Recently, we’ve reduced the asking price by $30,000, making Licence to Chill an even more compelling proposition. When compared to other Alibi 54s currently available, this vessel offers an impressive array of features and customizations that set it apart:
- A rotating carbon mast, enhancing sailing performance
- New mainsail and genoa, ensuring optimal speed and efficiency
- Comprehensive sail inventory and high-quality winches
- Essential long-distance cruising amenities including a water maker and generator
- Extensive safety equipment and cutting-edge electronics
In recent sea trials, Licence to Chill demonstrated her exceptional sailing capabilities. She maintained a steady 4-5 knots in calm conditions, showcasing her efficiency in light winds. More impressively, she typically achieves 140% of the apparent wind speed, a performance metric that surpasses many other Alibi 54s and production catamarans in her class.
While many Alibi 54s offer a balance of performance and comfort, Licence to Chill takes this combination to the next level. Her customizations and equipment list make her particularly well-suited for experienced sailors looking to embark on extended voyages without compromising on speed or handling.
It’s worth noting that a new Alibi 54 with comparable specifications would cost upwards of 1.55 million Euros, not including construction time. In light of this, Licence to Chill represents exceptional value in the current market.
We invite potential buyers to view the boat and experience firsthand how Licence to Chill compares to other Alibi 54s. Her unique blend of performance enhancements, cruising amenities, and recent price adjustment make her a standout option for those seeking a high-performance catamaran ready for immediate adventures.
Licence to Chill will sail at 8kt with 5 kt of wind.. and a top speed of 28 knots, this
unrivalled speed will allow you to sail most of the time.
