About Aluminium Aluboot 52 - "Lacon"

Unique aluminium sailing yacht with a hydraulic centerboard. A real eye-catcher thanks to her strong and distinctive lines, built to an exceptionally high standard of Dutch craftsmanship. She combines the comfort of a mini superyacht with the freedom of being easily handled by a small crew, with all winches and furlers operated from the steering pedestal. She is equipped with a bow thruster, hydraulic furlers and winches, and features a beautifully crafted solid teak interior with exceptional attention to detail. Her equipment includes a new set of sails from North Sails and upgraded B&G navigation equipment from 2022. Extensive maintenance and refurbishment works were carried out throughout 2026, including sanding and re-caulking of the teak decks. Sections of teak on the superstructure were removed, refurbished and treated before being reinstalled. The superstructure and outer sections of the cockpit were repainted. The varnished woodwork of the doghouse and steering pedestal was also refinished. Additionally, the diesel tanks were cleaned, a rope cutter was installed on the propeller shaft, and various technical inspections and checks were carried out. All of the above works were completed in 2026. Her retractable centerboard, offering a draft of just 2.00 metres when raised and 2.70 metres when lowered, provides excellent versatility and access to shallow-water cruising destinations. Combining timeless craftsmanship, comfortable living spaces and practical offshore sailing capabilities, she is well equipped to take her new owners on their next long-range voyage.
