AZZURRO 53 – The great journey begins here There are sailboats designed to sail… and others designed to explore the world. The Azzuro 53 belongs to this very exclusive category of cruising sailboats capable of taking their crew anywhere, from tropical anchorages to high latitudes, even to polar regions, with an exceptional level of safety, performance, and comfort. Designed for the open sea by the Berret-Racoupeau design office, it captivates as much with the elegance of its lines as with the remarkable quality of its aluminum construction, a true guarantee of longevity and robustness. Its efficient sail plan, moderate displacement, perfectly balanced hull, NACA profiled appendages, its lifting keel associated with a deep ballast and its water ballast, allow it to cover miles at high speeds while maintaining excellent behavior in all conditions. Thanks to its shallow draft with the keel raised, it accesses anchorages that are inaccessible to most large sailboats. Its ability to run aground, its functional cockpit in two distinct spaces, its bright deck salon, its intelligently distributed layouts over two levels, and its panoramic roof in Altuglas offer a rare living comfort, both while sailing and at anchor. Built with a particularly high level of demand, the Azzuro 53 belongs to the very select circle of large offshore monohulls capable of facing the seas of the world for many years.
A new page to write After being designed for the most beautiful sailing and the most demanding destinations, this Azzuro 53 is now ready to begin a new chapter in its history. A refurbishment program is currently being defined to allow future buyers to have a clear vision of the planned operations and the different possible options. This step mainly offers a rare opportunity: to customize an exceptional sailboat according to one's own sailing program, priorities, and vision of the great journey. Each owner has their own way of sailing, so this Azzuro 53 can be prepared to meet the specific expectations of its future crew. The boat is offered as is, allowing everyone the freedom to conduct their project according to their choices, or with project management support, providing assistance in organizing and coordinating interventions until it is back in service.
A rare opportunity The Azzuro 53s appear very rarely on the market. Their reputation is well established among long-distance sailors for their construction quality, performance, safety, and ability to sail without limits. For a sailor looking for a true expedition sailboat, this boat represents a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional unit and restore its full potential, shaping it in their image, to undertake the most beautiful sailing in the world.
NB: This boat is a first hand, the current owner had it built to their specifications, some photos show the boat in its original configuration. Some modifications have been made since (carbon roller boom, electronics, autopilot...) but these photos give an overview of its potential.
