This revolutionary
design turns every head! Philippe Briand has caused quite a stir in
the yachting community with his Atoll 50’. Specifically designed for
warm climates she has a cockpit-salon & galley up. Down below
there are 6 double cabins and 4 heads & showers, all spacious,
comfortable and well ventilated thanks to her beam carried to the
transom & state of the art design. The forward double cabins can
easily be converted by removing the centre partition into 1 huge
double cabin.
The spacious, shaded cockpit-salon seats 12 or more with long, comfy
cushioned sofas & foldaway dining tables. The ceiling slides back
so you can dine under the stars! She has a huge flat swim step (with
fresh water shower) leading into the water, providing easy access for
swimming and use of the dinghy. The galley is forward of the
cockpit-salon, surrounded by windows it is both breezy and light. A
huge fridge and freezer and plenty of counter & cupboard space
allow you to provision for large numbers with no problem.
Forward there is a large deck for sunning and lounging. There is a
huge coach roof over the galley, which is perfect for relaxing under
the shade of the sails.
Her twin wheels allow for easy manoeuvring and excellent visibility
from the helm. She has autopilot, depth and speed at the helms. The
genoa sheets and mainsheet are worked easily from the helms or
cockpit. The main halyard & reefing lines are at the mast. Sailing
is stable and smooth. Her thoughtful owner has provided safety nets
around the lifelines for extra peace of mind when sailing with
children.
Leading from the salon-cockpit forward there are steps down to 4
double cabins, 2 forward (which easily convert into 1 huge cabin), 2
more either side and a head and shower each side. Mid Ships there are
steps leading down from the salon/cockpit on each side, each leading
to the 5th and 6th double cabins and another head & shower each
side. Each double cabin has excellent headroom (over 6’3"), a
good-sized double bed (not less than 6’5" long), lots of
cupboard space, plenty of opening ports & hatches and cabin fans.
