Aiyana Sailing Yacht is the latest vessel launched from the New Zealand based design team Warwick Yacht Design. Aiyana SY symbolizes the evolution of a long line of fast Performance Cruising Sloops featuring both fixed and lift keel versions.
Sailing Yacht Aiyana was built by the prestigious shipyard, Alia Yachts, in turkey in composite construction to an exacting specification, formulated with High Modulus in epoxy, vacuum bagged and post cured to elevated temperatures and finished in striking flag blue Awlgrip complete with silver sheer rail and gold edged graphics and stern logo
The sophisticated interior is finished in satin mahogany woods including burl inlays enhanced with selected fabrics, wall linings, leather and headliners in warm tones.
The state of the art communication systems are coupled with entertainment monitors to all cabins complete with video conferencing facility for the busy owner.
Aiyana Yachts #2 and #3 are already in build with more to follow and options in fitout and Owner’s supply are offered by the Designers and shipyard.
Aiyana sloop has a generous sail plan with automatic handling systems ensuring fast passages for private or charter sailing and ocean crossing capability.
While under sail Aiyana is quiet and comfortable whether below decks, main deck seating cockpit or either of the duel steering stations on all points of sailing.
An inside helm station in the main saloon has good vision for motoring in inclement weather.
Hydraulic push button sail furling for both headsail and main are effected safely and fast when coming into an anchorage and the over center anchoring arm is deployed by one bow crewman without fuss.
The lift keel allows for shallow draft anchoring when raised from 4.1m draft to 2.26m draft.
Accommodation for six is provided on board of the Aiyana sailing yacht in three cabins for Owner and Guests and a 4th double cabin converts from the down saloon achieving privacy with an innovative motorized sliding ceiling and double doors from the bar area.
Crew accommodation has options of two bunk over bunk cabins or as in Aiyana super yacht the down saloon if not in use or over the bar.
At 24m the Aiyana sailing yacht has a careful use of space and has the feeling of a much larger vessel not to mention wide side decks with storage lockers, cockpits and aft deck.
However the most outstanding feature is without doubt the transom door which embodies the articulated patent davits making dinghy launching a fast easy one man operation.
This is a most popular space in the yacht for swimming, diving or just hanging out for the younger generation. The split double stairs on gas struts gain good access to eight sets of dive equipment, fender storage and a home for the lightweight carbonfibre passarelle.
