Qué cubre este vídeo
The Velija 43, a prototype cruiser built by Mediter Yacht, prioritizes expansive deck living and ease of handling over performance sailing.0:52 The hull features fully structural construction, with bulkheads and stringers laminated directly to the hull to eliminate the need for liners.1:27 Designed for single-handed operation, the boat utilizes a self-tacking jib and in-mast furling, with all control lines and winches concentrated at a central helm station forward of the cockpit.2:48 This layout creates an unobstructed, open-plan cockpit that functions as a terrace, featuring a modular table and seating system that converts into a large sunbed.6:47 The galley is located on deck rather than below, emphasizing outdoor social space.7:49 While the hydraulic steering lacks the tactile feedback of a cable-driven system, the boat maintains stability and comfort in 14–15 knots of wind, reaching speeds of 6.8–8.3 knots.15:48 A 55-horsepower engine upgrade is recommended over the standard 40-horsepower unit to improve cruising speed.16:41
