What this video covers

The Solaris 60 is an 18.31-meter performance cruiser built by the Aquilea shipyard using hand-laminated construction with an Aerex core and vacuum-bagged skins.1:59 The hull features composite bulkheads resin-bonded to the perimeter for structural stiffness, with all through-hull hose penetrations treated with a resin finish to prevent water ingress.2:18 The design utilizes a 5.28-meter beam and dual rudders to accommodate a stern garage for a 2.85-meter dinghy, made possible by a V-drive engine configuration that moves the 150-horsepower Volvo Penta propeller forward of the rudder blades.7:51 The deck layout includes 10-millimeter premium teak and a wide helm area created by terminating cockpit benches forward of the steering stations.9:46 Below deck, the interior offers three- or four-cabin layouts with extensive customization options for wood finishes, including natural, antiqued, brushed, or bleached oak.13:46 All plumbing and electrical systems are labeled for maintenance access.15:11 The vessel demonstrates high stability and performance, reaching 9 knots in 11 knots of wind with a 101-square-meter Genoa.7:00
