The Solaris 57, created by Doug Peterson and launched in 1992, is an exceptional bluewater yacht designed for performance cruising and long-distance voyages. Built with a GRP hull and a displacement of 26 tons, she offers a stable and powerful sailing experience. Her Italian-flagged, VAT-paid registration underlines her meticulous ownership and care. The yacht has been under the ownership of an experienced sailor for the past 18 years, who has kept her in excellent condition. The accommodations include three luxurious guest cabins, each with en-suite facilities, and a full-beam master cabin aft, while a separate crew cabin adds to her functionality and comfort. With a complete teak deck replacement and a gel coat refresh in 2021, the Solaris 57 is ready for her next adventure.
Performance and technical features make this yacht stand out, ensuring safety, efficiency, and ease of handling on any ocean journey. Her 200 HP Volvo Penta engine offers dependable power, while a Northern Lights generator and Marinco water maker increase autonomy. Sailing equipment includes a 2012-replaced standing rigging with Dyform, a Velscaf mast, and hydraulic controls by Navtec for the backstay, vang, and baby stay. High-end Raymarine navigation systems, new as of 2016, provide reliable data and display functions, with additional spinnakers and storm sails for versatile sailing in any condition. With comprehensive servicing and thoughtful upgrades over the years, the Solaris 57 stands as a ready-to-sail masterpiece for anyone seeking a refined and robust sailing vessel.
