Large sailing vessels can afford a few. They are difficult to build, they are difficult to manage, and a lot of trouble with maintenance. But the one to whom the noise of the wind in the sails is more expensive than the motor drone, will make any sacrifices. Two-masted Thalia - a sample of luxury sailing, one of the most elegant yachts in the world The yacht was named after Thalia, one of the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. There is nothing funny in this graceful sailboat, however. Apparently, when choosing a name, another circumstance played a role: Thalia was also the embodiment of grace, one of the three graces, companions of Aphrodite. Although Thalia was built for sea cruises, and not for competition, it looks like a slim, toned sports vessel. Appearance and design was developed by one of the most reputable yacht designers Ron Holland. On his account the construction of many famous ships, including those who won in sailing regattas. Holland began working with ships over one hundred feet in size in the 1980s. So Thalia was no longer the first big order. To build the hull of the yacht designer chose Amsterdam. And the interiors were commissioned to develop the Italian furniture factory COLOMBO MOBILI. Style decided to withstand extremely conservative. And the high-tech electronic filling is packaged in such a way that it does not catch the eye and does not reduce the pathos of the classic marine interior. The main materials for finishing the cabins are red and cherry wood. The cleanliness and accuracy of the style have earned the special Showboats Award. Although the yacht is not very large, the interior space is organized so rationally that twelve people and eight crew members can freely accommodate on board. Residential premises are located on two levels. On the top there is a spacious saloon with small windows, on the bottom there is a dining-kitchen, bedroom cabinets and crew cabins. Thalia, like many yachts of its class, is rented. So appreciate the elegance and seaworthiness of the "daughter of Zeus" can be completely free.Characteristics of the boat THALIAShipbuilder Ron Holland.Interior design Elmar Moira.Length 159 feet.Max width 32.8 ft.Draft 13.5 feet.Engines 1000 hp CATERPILLARGenerators CATERPILLAR 50 and 85 kW.Masts 175 and 130 feet.Total sail area 11.8 sq.
