The NAHOA 55

What would be the ultimate expedition sailboat?

After nine years of sailing around the world, Ben and Ashley dreamed of a vessel that could take them to the farthest corners of the globe with unparalleled speed, comfort, and safety. They envisioned a sailboat that could navigate both the sun-drenched tropics and the icy waters of Patagonia with ease.

Their vision became a reality with the Nahoa 55. This long-range cruising machine is designed to handle the most challenging conditions while providing a luxurious onboard experience.

The Nahoa 55 features:

Robust Construction: Built with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, the Nahoa 55 is engineered for durability and resilience in harsh environments.

Optimized Performance: With narrow hulls and high bridge deck clearance, the Nahoa 55 ensures swift and efficient passage. The design aims for an average speed of 10-12 knots, enabling you to cover significant distances quickly and comfortably.

Comprehensive Safety Features: Safety is paramount, with skegged rudders and a forward cockpit providing superior control and protection for both the vessel and the crew. The boat is equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and communication systems to ensure safe passage in all conditions.

Comfort and Livability: The Nahoa 55 boasts spacious interiors with standing headroom throughout, ensuring comfort for even the tallest sailors. Thoughtful design touches, such as queen-sized beds and ample storage, make life aboard pleasant and convenient.

Versatile Propulsion Options: The inclusion of a hybrid drive system, like the Yanmar hybrid, offers both regeneration while sailing and electric propulsion, providing flexible and efficient energy management.

Adaptability to Various Conditions: Whether you’re cruising through the warm waters of the Caribbean or braving the cold seas of the Arctic, the Nahoa 55 is equipped to handle diverse climates and challenging weather.

With this sort of vessel, you can explore the world’s most remote and beautiful locations, knowing that you have the best in safety, performance, and comfort at your disposal.

Why Aluminum

Aluminum is the ultimate material for long-range, expedition-style cruising yachts due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ductility (deforms before it breaks). Unlike fiberglass, aluminum doesn’t require constant polishing, and deck hardware such as cleats and stations are welded on, eliminating leaks from above.

Maintaining a boat is a constant, but aluminum significantly minimizes those efforts. Most great expedition vessels are still built in aluminum to this day.
