ALIBI 54 :For those unfamiliar with the brand, Licence to Chill is an Alibi 54 – a semi-custom, high-performance cruising catamaran designed by a renowned French designer and built in Thailand. This catamaran is crafted for the sailor who craves speed and exhilaration yet wants the comfort and space of a family-friendly yacht. Weighing just 12 tons and equipped with asymmetric push-button daggerboards, a rotating carbon fibre mast, and a brand-new Palma Tec square-top mainsail, she offers both thrilling performance and smooth, predictable handling. Capable of exceeding wind speed with ease, she’s as elegant as she is powerful.

Built with epoxy carbon construction and honeycomb core, her structural integrity is second to none. Unique design features such as a roller furling boom for easy short-handed sailing and a specially engineered bowsprit add to her performance and practicality. This is no ordinary catamaran; it’s a carefully engineered vessel that combines racing yacht technology with a sleek and minimalist interior designed for modern cruising comfort.

Her layout is practical yet innovative, featuring twin helm stations positioned slightly inboard for better visibility, a spacious aft deck with a dining table, and a bright, minimalist interior. The port-side galley is well-appointed, while the starboard hull offers a guest cabin aft and a smaller forward cabin, both easily accessible via wide, built-in steps.

There’s too much to summarise in a single page – her build quality, modern technology, clever design, and sheer speed must be experienced first-hand.

    Working with Will, Andrew Holland and Andrew Hodgdon to sell my Balance 442 was such a pleasure. No one knows multihulls as well as Andrew Hodgdon, especially performance cats like a Balance. As Technical Director of Balance for many years, Andrew knows all of the nuances of that type of boat, as well as the other brands in the category. If you want to sell or buy a catamaran, look no further than Andrew Hodgdon!
