Custom sailing yacht Nilaya successfully completes her first transatlantic crossing

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

The sparkling performance of the 47m Nauta and Reichel/Pugh design, masterfully built by Royal Huisman,  was already evident during sea trials back in May, but the owner has since taken delivery of the yacht and started to enjoy her exceptional blend of interior comfort and sailing talent .
 
Nilaya sailed to Antigua, late in November after a ten days Atlantic crossing, matching all the owner's expectations for speed, robustness, reliability and silence and with the satisfaction of her pro race team head Bouwe Bekking as well as of full-time skipper Romke Loopik.
 
Instantly recognisable for her low, modern lines and artfully concealed deckhouse, Nilaya is a yacht to excite the heart of any true yachting fan. Her proportions are carefully worked, with a modern plumb bow and a straight sheer that slides gently down to her broad, open transom. An exquisite custom carbon sloop rig gives her Panamax air draft and the potential to set an extraordinary press of sail. She is capable of effortless pace under sail, achieving 17 knots on a broad reach in just 18 knots of wind.
