A stunning cruiser/racer designed by the celebrated Italian designer Luca Brenta, at 65’ KALAO, when built represented the latest concept in medium-light displacement yachts. Designed for high performance under sail without sacrificing interior space. The accommodation includes a large forward double berth owner's cabin, an immense open-plan saloon amidship, with the galley area in full view, and two aft guest cabins, each with twin berths. All the cabins have their own en-suite bathrooms. Accommodation for two crew members is located in the bow. Tender garage aft. KALAO thus offers both performance and comfort. This complicated balance being the result of careful research and final design by Luca Brenta and put to best use by the skilled construction team at Maxi Dolphin.
On deck, typically Mediterranean with its large cockpit “furnished” with long seats and a centre table, has been designed to be extremely liveable under the clear Mediterranean sky. Some shade is nevertheless provided by the foldaway bimini incorporated in the low-profile sleek deckhouse. The deck has been given a further touch of elegance and ‘warmth’ by the addition of areas of teak planking. The clean lines of the deck are accentuated by the careful positioning of all the sail and rig control winches immediately forward of the two steering wheels. This particular design recognises the concept of ‘easy sailing’ and helps separate the area dedicated to social activities from that actually used to work the yacht. In fact, thanks to the electric winches and hydraulic rams used to adjust the sails, the yacht can be comfortably handled by just two people.
