Yard warranty was finished and approved January 2004 in New Zealand after a 4 month refit at Orams Yard in Auckland. Further improvements and cosmetic works undertaken in Cape Town 2004 and back at her builders in the UK in 2005. AGLAIA is the result of a large amount of R&D on the part of her very experienced owner, and collaboration between Rob Humphreys, Goss Challenges and Hamble Yacht Services. The aim was to construct a safe, fast, comfortable cruising yacht using the very best of modern technology. This aim has been achieved.
In September 2005 AGLAIA completed a voyage which had taken her from the UK to the Caribbean, then to Auckland, New Zealand via Panama and across the Pacific. From there she went to the Barrier Reef, Darwin, Cape Town South Africa, Horta and back to the UK. During all this time she has been superbly maintained and refitted as necessary.
This yacht has been sailed many miles by her husband and wife owners alone (no crew) and is very easily handled. Yet when desired she can also accommodate 6 guests plus two crew in superb comfort. She is being offered in sparkling condition and combines the best of new technology with solid hand-crafted finishing. She is available for immediate delivery.
