Designed throughout by Hoek Design Naval Architects, the 31.9-metre Alloy Yachts sloop Irelanda is newly listed with joint central agents Dennis Frederiksen of Fraser and Will Bishop of Superyacht Partners.
Built in New Zealand in 1996 by Alloy Yachts, the aluminium cutter-rigged sailing yacht was refitted in 2021 in the UK at Pendennis. The pedigree yacht has had just two owners since new and was designed for safe world sailing.
Irelanda's upper saloon incorporates a dining table and navigation station, leading up to the central cockpit which can be configured with two dining tables or large sunpads, all shaded by a bimini. The snug lower saloon boasts ample inviting seating, port and starboard, plus a desk forward, the finish being mahogany panelling throughout giving a traditional "proper yacht" feel. Glass deck hatches and portholes in the coachroof provide natural light without giving the feeling of being exposed to the elements.
Accommodation is for an owner's party of six to eight in three cabins, comprising master stateroom aft and two twin cabins, each with an additional Pullman berth, immediately forward. There are generous quarters for a crew of four with galley and their own mess forward of the lower saloon.
With keel raised, Irelanda's draft is 3.5 metres allowing access to shallow anchorages. Under the single Lugger engine the 104GT yacht for sale has a maximum speed of 12.5 knots, cruising speed of 10 knots and economical speed of 8.5 knots. Range is 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots. A tender garage is tucked away in the stern.
Irelanda is asking €3,650,000 with VAT paid and is on display at Palma International Boat Show.
