Launched and finished in 2016

Owner version - very little sailed
This PASSOA 55 CC’ is a rare unit due to the quality of its construction, its layout, and its equipment. Architects Alain Mortain and Yannis Mavrikios designed this magnificent offshore keelboat, with the design entrusted to Pierre FRUTSCHI. A unique collaboration between the GARCIA shipyard for the hull and the RAMEAU shipyard for the custom interior in cherry wood.
This PASSOA 55’ CC is a stunning version with 3 cabins, central saloon, side galley equipped for "long cruising", 2 double cabins, one intended for the owners, and 1 cabin fitted with two single bunk beds. The saloon is spacious and bright, featuring a chic and comfortable style. An elegant ensemble composed of cherry wood cabinetry and light Alcantara. Round salon accommodating 8/10 people, with the keel located in the central bench. The navigation space is perfectly integrated: a complete chart table including electronic equipment suitable for long voyages and a discreet and accessible electrical panel. The layout of the living and resting spaces offers the best comfort and ample storage. LED lighting adds a refined ambiance. The owners have carefully selected each option and their arrangement on board, all detailed in a very comprehensive manual. All installed equipment is accessible for maintenance.
The deck plan in genuine teak offers the comfort of smooth circulation from the transom to the bow. Maneuvers are facilitated by the installation of electric winches and brought back to the central cockpit for easy sailing with a reduced crew. Rigging options such as roller-furling sails, self-tacking system for the staysail, carbon pole, and SPARCRAFT canoe boom are ideal for navigation. Mainsail and genoa in Hydranet – rigging 2016.
The navigation programs of the PASSOA 55 CC’ are based on three key concepts: Comfort – Performance and Autonomy to sail FAR and FOR LONG! A yacht designed for offshore cruising with access to the most remote anchorages.
