The Yacht
 The most important thing
about a charter yacht is to be spacious
and comfortable, both on the deck
and below.
And «Alexandros»
is exactly that!
She is a wonderful yacht,
designed and built for the purpose of charter in the Mediterranean Sea as well as
for long ocean passages.
She is a sloop with two
large sails, a furling genoa and a furling
mainsail, that make it very easy to handle even single handed.
With a total of 115 square meters of sail, «Alexandros»
can offer some fast and exciting
sailing!
But she is not only a
very seaworthy boat, she is a luxurious one as well. Being a 50
footer, she has a large teak deck with plenty of room for sunbathing or just lying down with your book in the
one hand and your drink in the other.
With a strong guard rail
all around, it makes it a safe
environment for kids who always
like to wonder around and participate in the sailing of the yacht.
Of course the cockpit is the heart of a boat and so it is designed
to accommodate everyone (for a meal or a drink) and still remain
practical to do the 'sailing stuff '.
Having two steering wheels
is something usually seen on the yachts racing around the world,
and what's more, her autopilot
is always willing to take the helm when needed!
The stern, with steps
down to sea level and then a ladder extending under the surface,
is designed for easy access in and out of the water. The shower
installed at the stern is one of the most practical features,
as you can rinse yourself from the salt when you come out of the
sea, or just cool yourself down if you overheat while sunbathing.
 Below decks
there is a large saloon, the navigation
area, the galley and the cabins, all lying under the good insulation
of the teak deck, spacious and comfortable.
In the saloon there is
a big table with couches all around which makes it ideal for playing
table games or having a more formal meal. However in
the summer months it is so beautiful outside that people rarely
sit inside.
 The galley is very functional with big surfaces to work,
a large sink, gas cooker, two refrigerators and all the cooking
utensils that could possibly be needed.
The navigation area is
well equipped, with a GPS, VHF
radio, Electronic Chart Plotter, wind speed - depth
- boat speed meters, but as we prefer the traditional ways, all
the charts and pilot books are
there and in use.
On the recreation side
of things, there is a TV and DVD
player as well as a Radio and CD
player with speakers in the saloon and on deck. The collection
of films and music onboard is big, but you are always welcome
to bring your own.
 Additionally,
there is a computer and equipment to access the internet
in case you want to keep in touch with family and friends, or
more important, use it for your business.
There are plenty of computer
games, although there are always better things to do on
a yacht than get stuck in front of the screen!
However, it is a great
thing if you want to forget your kids for a while!
There are five cabins altogether. The four of them are situated around
the saloon and the fifth which is the crew cabin is at the bow
with a separate entrance from the deck. They are all en
suite with a marine toilet and a shower.
 The two cabins
that are at the front of the saloon have a double bed as well
as a single one above.
As we believe that three adults in a cabin might be a bit overcrowded,
we would suggest that the single bunk is used in the case of a
family with a child, or by two people sharing a cabin
and using different beds.
The other two cabins at
the rear of the saloon have a similar layout as to those at the
front, but without the single bunk.
Access to all four of
them is from the saloon.
Finally, the engine is a powerful Perkins 78HP, used to take the
yacht in and out of a harbor, charge the batteries and take «Alexandros»
to the destination when there is no wind.
The diesel tank has a
capacity of 400 liters which is enough to make long passages across
the Med, just with the engine alone (if needed!).
Additionally, the water
tanks have a capacity of 800 liters which is more than enough
for the needs of the boat, as they are toped up with fresh water
on a daily basis.
