DESCRIPTION
Liara was designed for an experienced owner who had worldwide cruising and the occasional foray onto the regatta racecourse in mind. She was delivered in June 2019 and will make her international debut at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show.
Liara is the first yacht designed by MMYD to be built by Baltic Yachts and she features the latest iteration of their retractable propulsion system, enhancing speed and manoeuvrability whilst sailing. Significant weight saving has been achieved through her advanced carbon composite construction using foam and Nomex cores, and consideration for this was an important part of the design process. Liara’s performance attributes include a generous sail plan featuring a square top mainsail, a telescopic lifting keel, and a high righting moment configuration, all combining to produce a lively performance from this highly-tuned cruising yacht.
At 34m length overall, the interior arrangement allows for an open plan saloon with direct access from the cockpit, which itself is sheltered from the elements by a lightweight carbon fibre bimini.
The accommodation is comprised of four double cabins, and sees the master suite positioned forward with a VIP suite adjacent to the lower saloon, with two guest cabins configured as twin berths located aft. There are also two ensuite crew cabins with a separate crew mess, galley and laundry.
The interior, by Adam Lay, utilises a natural aesthetic with bright colours and furnishings inspired by islands frequented by the owner and the marine environment. Oak joinery and panelling in a mix of grey-stained, limed and bleached finishes gives a neutral backdrop to the interior scheme that offers exceptional future versatility.
