1998 Alumarine 55

This 1998 Alumarine 55 is an aluminum cruising sailboat built for extended offshore passage-making. Designed by Guy Ribadeau Dumas, the hull form delivers structural rigidity and seaworthiness, with a sloop rig that balances power and ease of handling for small crews. The boat cruises at 4.3 knots and reaches 6.5 knots under power, driven by a 90-horsepower Perkins diesel engine.

The layout centers on long-term living aboard across four double cabins. Two spacious aft cabins feature double berths with natural light, one including an ensuite head. Forward are two cabins with upper and lower bunks suitable for crew or children, sharing a common head. Custom cherry joinery throughout the interior creates a warm, functional saloon that serves as the main gathering space. The galley is well appointed with generous counter space and storage.

All systems and details have been engineered with offshore reliability, safety, and self-sufficiency in mind. The boat is fully equipped and ready for extended cruising. Two heads service the accommodation, with thoughtful layouts designed to support life aboard in all conditions.
