2015 Amel 55

The Amel 55 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built for long-distance cruising. Amel's construction at their La Rochelle shipyard emphasizes rigid, torsion-free hulls using epoxy resins with laminated bulkheads. The design centers on seaworthiness, reliability, and comfort in remote waters. A deep, well-protected cockpit features high coaming, a fixed windscreen, and sprayhood. Numerous coachhouse windows, deck hatches, portholes, and hull windows flood the interior with light and ventilation.

The yacht accommodates an owner's cabin forward and two guest cabins aft, with two heads. Mahogany joinery and light floorboards complete the interior finish. All sail handling and trim equipment can be operated from the cockpit.

The Amel 55 carries a single Volvo Penta diesel engine of 110 hp. Systems include an electric furling mast, bow thruster, hydraulic gangway, electric davits, a large diesel generator, air conditioning, diesel heating, and a watermaker. Navigation equipment comprises complete B&G and Furuno installations. The yacht is fully equipped and ready to sail.
