{"id":529,"count":6,"description":"The Alibi 54 is a purpose-built performance sailing catamaran developed in collaboration with founder and naval architect Lo\u00efc Goepfert. The design emphasis is on minimizing displacement through lightweight materials and intelligent mass distribution while retaining capabilities for extended off\u2011grid cruising. Multiple examples in the range have been delivered as highly customized, single\u2011owner builds that accentuate this design brief.\n\nConstruction is rooted in advanced composite technology. Hulls employ epoxy resin infusion over E\u2011glass fiberglass with a Divinycell PVC foam core (sandwich construction). Carbon fiber is used extensively in primary structural elements \u2014 including decks, sub\u2011structure, crossbeams, longeron, martingale and bowsprit \u2014 and in the rig (rotating carbon mast and boom). Secondary joinery and interior components have also been executed in carbon where weight saving is critical, with cabinetry and floorboards engineered for low mass. The platform is built to CE and ISO compatibility\/standards.\n\nHydro\u2011 and aero\u2011dynamic systems reflect the performance intent: asymmetrical carbon daggerboards, a retractable drive system, and 3\u2011meter retractable carbon rudder blades are specified to optimize lift, control and drag reduction. Heavy systems such as engines are centralized to reduce pitching moment, and an innovative forward tender lift and storage between the carbon A\u2011frame bowsprit relocates stern weight to preserve trim. Reported performance figures from completed examples include top speeds up to 27 knots and comfortable cruising speeds in the high teens.\n\nSystems fit reflects a bluewater focus with a large lithium battery bank and an extensive solar array to support generator\u2011free periods at anchor, while a generator remains available as an option. The interior finish on customized examples is described as modern and refined, with workmanship and detail intended to distinguish these builds from production multihulls. Typical helm layout includes dual pivoting stations, consistent with the model\u2019s orientation toward both high speed handling and practical offshore cruising.","link":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/brand\/alibi-54\/","name":"Alibi 54","slug":"alibi-54","taxonomy":"brand","parent":528,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/brand"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand\/528"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reference?brand=529"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.yachtsite.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yachts-for-sale?brand=529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
