In the semi-displacement boat segment with hulls ranging from 50′ to 55′, Alpha 50 LR outperforms the entire market in terms of construction strength, performance range and autonomy, and hull design (center fuel tanks, full keel, double chine, watertight compartments, and full access to systems and engines).
Yachts such as G Banks, Krogen Exp., and Fleming are vessels with magnificent features and beautiful exterior designs. However, they cannot match Alpha’s strength and advanced hull design (optimized center of buoyancy and gravity location), which enhances her ability to cope with oceans in Beaufort 8 sea conditions. The hull incorporates characteristics inspired by renowned designers Pat Bray and Ed Monk (Tollycraft 67).
The most visible design trademark is the double chine (the second split chine positioned above the waterline, reducing beam sea impact). This is part of Alpha’s philosophy of building the strongest year-round cruising yachts, delivering the feeling of a vessel built to last forever. “For Alpha, safety and comfort are more important than absolute speed and luxury.” Alpha’s hulls are specifically designed to reduce roll and pitch. Her nearly 4-foot draft and, if necessary, lowered mast allow access to waters that many other 50-foot yachts cannot reach.
The yacht’s design emphasizes function: central fuel tanks combined with a long, heavy keel create a low center of gravity and an optimal center of buoyancy, qualifying her as Class A and prepared to cruise in Beaufort 8 conditions. Full walk-around access to engines, systems, and valves ensures ease of maintenance. The direct shaft drive provides reliable performance without the inconveniences and complexities associated with pod drives.
