I present to you my ALU MARINE 52 DI, a beautiful long-distance cruising boat that has completed more than two world tours as a couple since 1999. This sailboat is perfectly maneuverable by two people, even alone. Indeed, when I broke my leg in Australia, my partner single-handedly maneuvered the sailboat across the Great Barrier Reef, the Torres Strait, and the Arafura Sea to Darwin, a distance of 2000 nautical miles.

Comfort and Performance

This sailboat has provided many satisfactions, performing well even in light winds and always remaining extremely comfortable. It has been meticulously maintained, and all maintenance invoices are available. It underwent a complete overhaul before departing France and was maintained in shipyards in Trinidad, Tahiti, New Zealand, Thailand, and South Africa.
