Velarca 135 is designed to fill the missing spot in the yachting industry.
The yacht provides spacious luxury and easiness but also takes into account the growing demands on sustainability.
The yacht's general arrangement and styling as well as the main technical features such as the completely new kind of rig are specifically designed to make the transition from motor yachting to a more low carbon alternative, sailing, as effortless as possible.
Velarca 135 is our answer for the sustainable future and to the environmental goals set in Glasgow 2021.
Key Features of Velarca 135
The design is an innovative combination of the best elements of luxury motor and sailing yachts.
The design is easily adjustable to fit the future owner´s personal preferences.
The Profile
Velarca 135 offers a solid sailing experience.
Unlike the conventional sailing yachts, this yacht is a proper double decker. The centre of gravity is still as low as possible.
Even though the nature of Velarca is clearly a cruising yacht, the hull shape, keel and the rudder are the latest available technology from offshore racing circuits.
The yacht also comes with three different keel options depending on the intended use and the sportiest fixed keel version provides a racing yacht like performance.
The Rig
No more ropes on the deck.
Velarca 135 has a completely new kind of rig with three self-tacking and hydraulically furling jibs (The “Fisherman sail” being upside down) that can be opened or reefed by using the push buttons at the cockpit.
Handling the sails of this yacht doesn't therefore require a small army of deck crew but instead it has been automated as far as possible.
The jib traveller tracks are placed higher up in the mast which made the complete removal of all ropes and winches from the deck possible. Therefore, all risks associated with high loads on the sheets have been eliminated from the deck entirely.
The Beach Club
Enjoy all the amentities while anchored.
Velarca 135 has a streamlined, motor yacht like profile featuring a very large beach club at the stern, providing a stylish lounge area and a very large swim platform, with additional space for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.
For functionality and easy access Velarca 135 has a lift to the front bulkhead of the beach club which makes all decks and areas safely accessible for everyone.
The Spacious Interior
Velarca 135 has many different options for interior lay-out
Velarca is flooding with light even indoors and has plenty of window area throughout the hull.
All Velarca cabins are large and equipped with a private toilet and shower with plenty of window space. Cabins are located nearby the staircase that leads to the large dining and living room upstairs.
The Deluxe version with the large owner’s cabin will accommodate 10 people with the most comfortable way. The charter optimized layout has cabins for 12 guests.
