2010 Alloy Yachts AY 40

This 145-foot aluminum sailing yacht was built by Alloy Yachts in 2010 to a design by Dubois Naval Architects. She is a robust displacement sloop powered by a single Caterpillar C18 diesel engine producing 873 horsepower, with a cruising speed of 11 knots and a maximum speed of 14 knots. The aluminum hull and superstructure are finished with teak decks, and she carries a carbon mast and boom from Southern Spars with a total sail plan of 895 square meters. A lifting keel allows access to shallow anchorages. The boat has a fuel capacity of 22,000 liters and a range of 4,011 nautical miles at 11 knots, supported by two Northern Lights generators and comprehensive water-making capability.

The accommodation comprises four guest cabins—a master, a VIP cabin, a twin with Pullman berth, and a single with convertible berths—plus three crew bunk cabins, accommodating up to nine guests and six crew. The galley is equipped with commercial-grade Miele appliances including three induction hobs, dual dishwashers, dual commercial tumble dryers, and walk-in cold storage alongside an autonomous commercial refrigerator and freezer. The interior features Loro Piana fabrics throughout and is fitted with a sophisticated entertainment and control system including Crestron automation, Kaleidescape media servers, and multiple displays across the yacht.

An extensive refit was completed in winter 2024–2025 that included work on the rigging, hull, safety systems, hydraulics, propulsion, and electrical systems, with a new North Sails jib added in August 2025. Prior to that, a major refit in 2020 included a complete rebuild of the main engine and generators, gearbox inspection, recaulking of the teak, and renewal of the 10-year Lloyd's survey. Navigation and communication systems are comprehensive, featuring dual helm stations with B&G autopilots, Furuno systems, Sea Tel satellite systems, Starlink, and Iridium connectivity. Tenders and water toys include a Smuggler Strata 630 RIB with Volvo Penta engine, paddle boards, scuba gear, and a jellyfish-proof swimming pool.
