Closing Remarks Soolaimon is one of two 60' yachts designed by Jack Corey and built by Antigua yachts. Antigua Yachts manufactured many yachts in Fl. such as the Antigua 44' (originally the CSY 44 but redesigned and mfg'd by Antigua ), Antigua 53' ( Revamped Outlander 51 with a newly designed deck and house) and the Antigua 60 & 70's which were new ground up builds, all Jack Cory designs. She was highly customized by Corinthian Boat builders to accommodate her new owner's specific and meticulous requirements for the ultimate in safety, comfort and luxury. She is the most unique yacht in her class you will see. Built to be a safe, strong, fast performance cruiser she is easily handled by a crew of one or two. Most systems were installed from 2007 to 2015 and are of the best engineering and highest quality available. She is truly a masterpiece of form, function and beauty with an impeccable design. Her interior arrangement and deck layout are ideally suited for live aboard, extended passage making shorthanded or even VIP chartering. There are few yachts so well designed and built as Soolaimon. Hundreds of additional details large and small make her very functional with exquisite joinery and system installation. " Elegant" "is the word used by guests. Only during an inspection can one truly comprehend and appreciate the total commitment to quality, functionality and beauty. With her shoal draft and low bridge clearance she is great for the Bahamas as well as intercoastal travel in the US East Coast. |
