Yachting Monthly - November 2015

Showing at Southampton for

the fi rst time, this is the fi rst

of the new Euphoria range

of cruisers from the Turkish

yard Sirena Marine, which also

builds the Azuree marque. Her

sweet-looking hull, designed by

German Frers, is resin-injected

for strength and weight saving.

Her gorgeously sleek deck and

coachroof fi nish off her exterior

beautifully. Her cockpit is well

laid out with lines led back to

the helm on each side, so it

should be easy to sail her with

a small crew.

Below decks she is cleanly

styled with a pleasing

combination of light oak and

white panels, making the

interior bright. To starboard is a nice deep

U-shaped galley with a four-burner cooker

outboard and an aft-facing sink. Opposite

is a long, forward-facing chart table with

plenty of room for chartwork. There are twin

double cabins aft (both with en-suite heads).

In the forepeak is a large double cabin

with a dressing table and a moveable stool

to starboard, while to port is a large master

heads. The saloon is social and U-shaped,

the saloon table drops and converts into a

day bed, while opposite is a short bench

seat. But it’s the attention to detail that

stands out: the overhead (and rather high)

wooden grabrail has LED strip lighting inset,

and the doors are held open with recessed

latches in the sole.

Who would she suit?

Someone looking for a fast, stylish cruiser.

Euphoria 54

The aluminium Atlantic

40 is available with

a fi xed keel or, like

the boat on display in

Amsterdam, a lifting

keel. To facilitate drying

out she also has twin

rudders. The cockpit is

sheltered thanks to a

high, solid sprayhood.

Either side of the

cockpit, beneath the overhanging hood, is

a well-protected watchkeeper’s position

with windows overhead (to check sail trim)

and instruments in the bulkhead. This area

also gives shelter for donning waterproofs

without facing the full wrath of the weather.

The cockpit is very well thought out,

surrounded by six Andersen winches with a

raised seating position aft of the wheel.

comfortable and well laid out chart table, as

well as overhead windows which add light

and allow you to check the set of the sails.

the dominant box for the lifting keel. This

restricts aft access to the port-side seating,

and you have to shuffl e from forward of the

mast around the fi xed-leaf table. Forward is

a nice, low V-berth with seats either side.

Who would she suit?

An adventurous crew with go-anywhere

tendencies.
