ALIA YACHTS  ·   CUSTOM WARWICK 82 LK  ·  2010 / 2024–25 REFIT

ONE OF TWO HULLS BUILT  ·   COMPREHENSIVE 2024–25 REFIT   ·  TURN-KEY

One of only two hulls ever built to the Alia 82 LK design, this 2010 custom performance sloop was conceived over seven years in direct collaboration with Alan Warwick of Warwick Yacht Design and built by Alia Yachts in Antalya to German Lloyd's and MCA Commercial Code standards. She is not a production yacht. Following an extensive 2024/25 refit with no budget spared, covering a new engine, ASEA electrical system, air conditioning, full Rybovich topsides respray, complete North 3Di Ocean 700 sail inventory and new tender, she is presented at the peak of her condition and ready for a Mediterranean summer 2026 campaign.

The hydraulic lifting keel reduces draft to 2.28m with the keel raised, opening anchorages inaccessible to comparable blue-water yachts, while deploying to 4.10m offshore for the righting moment of a deep-keeled racing yacht. A one-piece Hall Spars carbon mast, Hall OceanFurl hydraulic in-boom furling, Future Fibers carbon rigging certified for a further decade and a barely-used North 3Di Ocean 700 mainsail complete a sailing package a new owner would not revisit for years. Below decks, eight guests are accommodated across four cabins finished in satin Sapele mahogany, served by three crew cabins with their own private deck entrance. Currently hauled out at Gouvia Marina, Corfu, available for immediate inspection by appointment.

She began as a question her original owner could not put down: could a sailing yacht of 25 metres truly do everything — race offshore, slip into anchorages most yachts of her length cannot reach, carry family and friends across oceans in genuine comfort, and still feel alive under sail?

Seven years of conversation with Alan Warwick of Warwick Yacht Design produced the answer. Alia Yachts in Antalya built it to German Lloyd’s and MCA Commercial Code standards. A decade and a half of blue-water voyaging — Atlantic crossings in both directions, Caribbean racing, Mediterranean summers — proved it. And a comprehensive 2024–25 renewal at Rybovich West Palm Beach has returned her, system by system, to first-launch condition.

S/Y Aiyana is one of only two hulls ever built to the Warwick 82 LK design. Her sister, W82, was recognised at the prestigious International Superyacht Society Design Awards. Aiyana is not a production yacht. She is a singular answer to a specific question, and that question still has currency for whoever sails her next. 

The brief was a 25-metre cruiser-racer that could move between roles without compromise. Three engineering decisions, argued out across years of design, made that possible:

• The hydraulic lifting keel — 2.28 m raised, 4.10 m down. Shallow-water access to anchorages a 4-metre fixed keel could never enter, paired with the righting moment and pointing ability of a 13-foot-six racing fin when the keel is dropped
• The one-piece carbon mast by Hall Spars — 35 metres, four-spreader masthead rig built in Hall’s seamless carbon process — lighter aloft than any aluminium spar her size, with the response under sail that defines her current character
• The raised pilothouse salon — a full-width entertaining space with unrestricted 360-degree visibility, an inside helm station for inclement-weather motoring, and a nav and dining area that gives her the daylight and horizon-view of a yacht considerably larger

Aiyana's hull and deck are built from epoxy resins over selected E-glass and carbon laminates on variable-density foam cores. All laminates are vacuum-bagged and post-cured to elevated temperatures, delivering a structure that is both light and exceptionally stiff. Hull and superstructure are finished in approved epoxy systems and Awlgrip topcoat. Watertight bulkheads are positioned at four structural locations, plus a forward collision bulkhead. The construction methodology and structural scantlings comply fully with German Lloyd's Letter of Compliance. She was also built to the MCA Small Commercial Vessel Code for vessels under 24 metres, making her commercially operable where required. Gross tonnage: 68.96 GT.

The rig is built around a four-spreader masthead configuration using a one-piece seamless carbon mast and boom manufactured by Hall Spars & Rigging of New Zealand — the same yard that built the carbon spinnaker and jockey poles. The Hall OceanFurl boom accommodates a full-batten mainsail with hydraulic in-boom furling, enabling one-person mainsail handling at sea. Headsail furling is also hydraulically driven, with all sheets and controls routed below deck for clear, uncluttered side decks.Standing rigging was replaced from original PBO with steel in the early years, then upgraded again to Future Fibers carbon fibre rod rigging. The port-side components underwent a full professional inspection and partial replacement at Rybovich in 2022, with material sent to Future Fibers Valencia; the system is certified for a further ten years from that date.
The sail inventory is entirely new. The jib is a 2024 North Sails 3Di Ocean 700 with white UV coating for longevity. The mainsail is a 2025 North Sails 3Di Ocean 700 — both sails at the top of the North range for offshore durability and shape retention. A top-furling Helix gennaker completes the downwind wardrobe. Both principal sails have been transported transatlantically in their protective bags and the main carries barely any hours. This is a sail inventory a new owner would not need to revisit for a decade

The defining performance characteristic of the Alia 82 LK is its hydraulically controlled lifting keel. With the keel fully raised, draft reduces to 2.28m (7'6"), opening anchorages and shallow harbours inaccessible to comparable blue-water yachts. With the keel fully deployed at 4.10m (13'6"), Aiyana becomes a powerful offshore performer, combining the righting moment and pointing ability of a deep-keeled racing yacht with the comfort and range of a serious passage-maker. The system is hydraulically actuated and operates reliably as a push-button function from the helm. Bow and stern thrusters provide additional manoeuvrability in close quarters.

Aiyana accommodates eight guests in four cabins with three separate crew cabins forward, accessible via their own private deck entrance — maintaining complete owner/guest separation at sea and in port. The layout is a raised pilothouse design, giving the central salon panoramic 360-degree visibility and a full-width entertaining and dining space. Below the pilothouse, the main lower saloon serves as a secondary gathering space with bar area, including a chilled-water system installed by Matt Hooper.

The full-beam aft master cabin is positioned for privacy and space, with its own ensuite facilities. The forward VIP stateroom offers a queen berth with private head. The third cabin provides twin berths convertible to a queen, with private head. A fourth convertible cabin doubles as a library or study and can accommodate additional guests. The interior is finished throughout in satin Sapele mahogany with burl inlays, upholstered panels in warm tones, and selected fabrics and headliners — all refreshed during the 2024–2025 programme. The saloon, dining area, and pilothouse together create an interior volume and quality of finish rarely found in a 25-metre yacht.

This is not a cosmetic refresh. It is an owner-led, system-by-system renewal carried out at Rybovich, West Palm Beach — with continuing service and final touches by Yacht Service Group in Corfu.

Main propulsion is provided by a newly replaced Volvo Penta D4 inboard diesel developing 260hp at 3,500rpm — low hours since installation in 2024. Onboard electrical generation is handled by a 25kW Whisper Power generator, ensuring quiet, efficient ship's power at anchor and under way. The new ASEA system manages onboard AC/DC electrical distribution. Fresh water capacity is 1,000 litres; fuel capacity 2,000 litres — a range-enabling combination for long passages under power or in light airs. The 25kW generator supports full air conditioning throughout the vessel, with new units installed in 2024. A watermaker (capacity to be confirmed) further supports extended passage-making self-sufficiency.

Aiyana began as a question I kept asking myself: could a sailing yacht of 25 metres truly do everything — perform offshore, enter shallow anchorages, carry family and friends in genuine comfort, and still feel alive under sail? Over seven years of collaboration with Alan Warwick and his team in Auckland, the answer took shape. Every decision — the one-piece carbon mast by Hall Spars, the hydraulic lifting keel, the raised pilothouse salon — was made not once, but argued over, refined and proven before it was committed to the build.

What followed was a decade of blue-water sailing maintained to the same exacting standard as the build. In 2024 and 2025 alone I invested in a complete new North 3Di Ocean 700 sail inventory, a full Rybovich respray, Future Fibers rigging re-certification, a new engine, new ASEA system, new air conditioning, and a new tender. I cannot think of a single system that has not been renewed. The sails have crossed the Atlantic in both directions in their bags. The main has barely an hour on it.

She is not a yacht that should sit in a marina. The next owner inherits not just a yacht, but a vision that took seven years to design and fifteen years to prove.

In fifteen years of brokerage we rarely encounter a yacht where the owner's investment story is this compelling and this verifiable. Aiyana is not a yacht that has been left to age — she has been actively and expensively maintained at the world's best shipyards. The sail inventory alone (North 3Di Ocean 700, barely used) represents a six-figure investment at today's prices. Her current location in Corfu is ideal for buyers seeking a Mediterranean summer delivery. She is ready to sail. Viewings are available now by appointment at Gouvia Marina, Corfu — contact us directly.

“Aiyana is built for passages, for anchoring in places others cannot reach, and for arriving — wherever that is — in a way that still turns heads after fifteen years. The next owner inherits not just a yacht, but a vision that took seven years to design and fifteen years to prove.”
