PALIADOR for sale

The Custom Global Cruising Sloop PALIADOR represents performance, safety and comfort. She was designed with luxury in mind, built to the highest standards by Alloy Yachts at the peak of the yard’s legendary craftsmanship capabilities. Her original owner enjoyed a dozen years of voyaging to remote parts of the globe with family and friends. PALIADOR benefitted from a meticulous maintenance program by her dedicated original owner, including a major refit in 2013. The yacht’s second owner was equally devoted to his extended cruising itinerary, completing 65,000 miles in his Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific loops. The vessel was beautifully maintained under his care and underwent a full refit in Palma in 2017. In 2020, she underwent another comprehensive refit, including a complete rig rebuild with all components disassembled, fully serviced and repainted. Concurrently, all standing rigging was replaced and her topsides were sanded, faired and painted with Awlgrip. At the Lessee’s expense, all deck and superstructure were repainted with Awlgrip and all exterior teak trim was stripped, sanded and refinished to perfection.

The craftsmen at Alloy Yachts have proven their mettle with the traditional varnished cherry joiner work accented by fabric panels and solid varnished maple cabin soles with teak inlays in both salons, the aft passageway and heads. Tasteful fabrics and multiple lighting options with dimmers add to the interior ambiance. The most striking feature of her interior is the huge sense of volume as the cockpit adjoins the pilothouse and the salon down and forward. The other striking feature of PALIADOR’s interior is the marvelous ergonomic flow of the layout, with the owner's full-width suite aft with private deck access plus three generous guest staterooms aft and comfortable crew quarters with lounge and private deck access forward.

The yacht’s spacious pilothouse, accessed from the cockpit via a wide companionway, combines the two areas into a very sizable entertaining area further enhanced by the open space forward and down several steps to the full-beam main salon. The sense of open space, with unrestricted 360-degree views to the horizon, is simply sublime. The large dining area is to port with an expandable table and three large removable chairs, adding seating capacity inboard. To starboard is a complete navigation and piloting station with multiple screens, communication equipment and other instrumentation to safely operate the vessel. An L-settee is aft to starboard, with two large chart drawers and a wet locker also provided. Forward of the salon is the galley area with a functional U-shaped design and generous countertops plus storage lockers. To starboard is the crew mess with comfortable seating for four, access to all ship’s monitoring and entertainment equipment, and a laundry area aft. Two large hatches and two opening portholes provide excellent natural light and ventilation, along with a large hatch for access directly to the foredeck.

PALIADOR sleeps eight in four owner and guest cabins aft, plus two ensuite crew cabins forward. The port guest cabin features twin berths with a night table and numerous drawers, lockers and a large hanging locker for extended stays. The starboard guest cabin is identical to the port cabin, except that a Pullman berth drops down from the overhead when needed. Fully forward to starboard is an additional stateroom with a generous single berth, small desk and hanging locker. This cabin shares the head and shower with the primary starboard stateroom and is ideal for a nanny, additional guest or extra crew.

PALIADOR’s magnificent form blends to seawise function, beginning with the hydraulic retractable swim platform and boarding steps to the aft deck, a valuable convenience for swimming and tender access. Immediately forward on the stern deck are wide hydraulic hatches opening to large lazarette storage for all deck gear and water toys. Forward on the centerline is the owner’s stateroom companionway, offering private access to the deck and swim platform.

Forward and outboard to port and starboard are all sail handling winches, mostly hydraulic, and conveniently located for the best visibility of the sail plan. Forward on the side decks, gates in the cockpit coaming port and starboard allow access to the helm cockpit, which is raised to allow clear visibility over the cockpit Bimini and dodger forward, which afford full protection from sun, wind and spray. The helm pedestal houses all controls for the yacht; steering, bow and stern thrusters, plus all gauges and instrumentation to manage her underway. The pedestal is surrounded by a cushioned settee aft, port and starboard.

The entertaining cockpit has U-shaped seating to port, surrounding the expandable varnished teak dining table with folding chairs inboard to accommodate 6-8 for dining. To starboard are an L-shaped settee outboard, a refrigerator, and a wet bar, which completes this comfortable on-deck entertaining area. Forward on PALIADOR’s uncluttered teak deck, flush stainless deck hatches, hidden sheet leads, multiple watertight side deck lockers, and under-deck anchor systems.
