1988 Ocean Alan Wright

This 55-foot Alan Wright-designed cutter-rigged sloop was built by Ocean in Auckland, New Zealand using cold-molded composite construction—three layers of kouri wood, each saturated with epoxy and finished with fiberglass. The resulting hull is strong, light, and responsive. Powered by a 130-horsepower Isuzu diesel engine, she cruises at 7 knots with a top speed of 9 knots.

The interior is arranged with three cabins and two heads, offering comfortable accommodation suited equally to extended cruising or permanent living aboard. Recent refurbishment includes updated electrical and plumbing systems, a rebuilt galley, and refreshed salon spaces. The navigation suite was upgraded in 2022 and 2023 with new radar, multifunction display, depth finder, and wind instruments.

The hull was stripped, primed, and repainted in 2022. Built as a racer-cruiser design, the yacht combines performance under sail with genuine seakeeping capability and interior comfort.
