2005 Custom Malolo 55

This 55-foot custom sailing yacht combines racing performance with genuine cruising comfort. Built from fiberglass, Malolo was designed for an experienced owner who wanted speed and control in equal measure. Her modern hull form and efficient appendages deliver strong passage speeds across varying wind conditions—she cruises at 9 knots and responds predictably whether reaching in trades or beating to windward. The sail plan is powerful yet manageable, allowing one person to helm effectively without requiring a full race crew.

Below deck, three cabins and two heads provide proper accommodation for extended offshore passages. The interior is finished to high standards with thoughtfully installed systems throughout, reflecting the care taken in her custom construction. A single 75-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine handles auxiliary power.

Malolo represents a genuine fusion of design disciplines: fast and rewarding to sail, balanced in all conditions, and built with the structural integrity and attention to detail expected of a quality custom yacht. She rewards active helmsmanship while remaining composed and stable.
