The new Solaris 55, made her sea debut at the Barcolana Solaris Adriatic Cup
The new Solaris 55 is the culmination of unparalleled experience and knowledge: the 50 year history of the Solaris Yachts shipyard converge into the Solaris 55, which embodies all the qualities of a boat designed for circumnavigating the globe or for a pleasant day sailing.
Solaris have once again continued their successful collaboration with Naval Architect Javier Soto Acebal, while Adi Design has developed the interior design, and the Solaris team has taken care of the structures, systems, and internal technical design.
Every aspect and detail of the project, every component chosen from the best brands on the market, have found their rightful place thanks to a refined and meticulous study of a boat with a LOA of 16.90 meters and a beam of 5.00 meters.
Hull and deck layout
The hydrodynamic study has defined a modern hull, with a small chine at the bow disappearing into a rounded broad stern, which ensures the longitudinal trim. The deck layout is both clean and functional as a result of specific attention and knowledge of deck ergonomics. The broad cockpit with full-width steering wheels improves visibility during sailing and while manoeuvering in the harbour. The two cockpit tables are extremely comfortable, with a central passage towards the boat’s companionway, which also features two innovative windows that allow increased natural light to enter the cabins and the saloon.
Unique features of this latest Solaris are the opening transom to store the dinghy with outboard engine in a longitudinal position and very convenient steps to access down to the bathing platform, which are moulded into the hull.
The structure, like on every Solaris, is characterized by the connection of the three composite main bulkheads which are laminated and resin bonded to the hull and deck. Furthermore, it has a lead bulb and cast iron keel, mounted with a coupling flange to the hull structure. A perfect blend of innovation and traditional solutions: Solaris 55 is born from great commitment and care to always ensure the owners safety and comfort.
Interiors
Below deck, you will instantly notice the perfect symmetry, which is the result of a thorough analysis of distribution of space and light: the traditional interior layout is conceived with a spacious forward owners suite, available in two versions with a central or an offset bed, along with a bathroom with a large shower. The saloon conveys light and symmetry, and can be equipped with a sofa or two large armchairs. The portside L-shaped galley is customizable according to the owner’s needs and can be equipped with every comfort.
The two aft cabins have their own bathroom with aseparate shower. The sail locker can be converted into a crew cabin with integrated bathroom.
The new Solaris 55 is our latest innovation. She represents a yacht built according to blue water yacht criteria yet at the same time it can be sailed easily for an unforgettable day sails.
