This 2001 IMP 55 is a fiberglass catamaran designed by Colin Ayres and built by Sun Yachts in Western Australia. Measuring 55 feet in length with a 26-foot beam, she combines a spacious layout with proven ocean-going capability. Twin Perkins diesel engines of 130 horsepower each drive the yacht, recently serviced and maintained, with straightforward shaft drives and spare propellers aboard. Under sail, all canvas runs on furlers with mainsail access from the coachroof, enabling safe handling without work aloft. The yacht cruises at 7 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 9 knots.
Accommodation consists of seven cabins with three heads distributed throughout. The main saloon features exceptional headroom and opens to a well-equipped galley on the port side, with extensive preparation areas that reflect quality design. Four primary cabins provide generous space, with two forward cabins as ensuite cabins and aft cabins sharing a well-appointed bathroom. Additional bow cabins serve crew quarters. A single berth on the starboard side rounds out the sleeping arrangements, making the yacht suitable for extended family cruising or liveaboard use.
The yacht's build quality emphasizes reliability and simplicity—hallmarks of her original construction. Her vast social spaces and practical layout make her suited to extended bluewater cruising or charter operations. Currently Thai registered, she remains ready for immediate use by her next owners.
