The 29‑metre sloop PATEA, delivered in 2012 by Alia Yachts, represents a sophisticated blend of performance sailing and luxury cruising. Designed by Warwick Yacht Design, she is not just a cruising vessel but one built for serious offshore capability, with a hull optimised for speed and stability. Built with a composite hull and GRP superstructure, PATEA stands out for her contemporary build and engineering quality. A significant refit in 2021 ensures she remains in excellent condition, modernised and well maintained. Whether the intention is blue‑water passage‑making, regatta racing or relaxed coastal escapes, she delivers versatility, performance and comfort in equal measure. Her pedigree and smart design make her an appealing choice for experienced sailors who value both style and function. PATEA’s extraordinary sailing performance is thanks to her Southern Spars carbon rig and advanced sail-handling systems, including in-boom mainsail furling and an asymmetric masthead spinnaker. Powered by a single 435hp Volvo Penta diesel engine, she can achieve a top speed of 12 knots and an impressive range of 2,200nm cruising at 10 knots. Her 3.7m (12ft) draft fin keel balances performance and accessibility, allowing her to explore shallow anchorages. Her modern and sustainable design includes up-to-date machinery with hydraulic and DC motors, supplemented by solar panels on the coach roof.
Functional and Stylish
PATEA’s exterior spaces are as functional as they are stylish, with a layout tailored for both spirited sailing and relaxed lounging. A large guest cockpit sits beneath a sleek coachroof, fitted with skylights that offer a balance of shade and open views. The aft section cleverly transforms, featuring a convertible bench that becomes a triple sunpad, while the transom folds down to create a generous swim platform for easy sea access. Twin helm stations offer elevated visibility, ideal for navigating or racing, while push‑button sail handling systems allow smooth operation under sail. PATEA’s deck layout has been thoughtfully designed to balance leisure and sailing efficiency to offer a beautifully well-rounded experience. The line-free guest cockpit, shaded by an extended coachroof with skylights, features an open-air dining space to seat 8-10 guests at anchor, and provides a safe space for enjoying the journey underway. Aft, elevated helm stations offer excellent visibility and intuitive push-button sailing controls, making navigation simple. The aft deck includes bench seating that can be used as a sun lounge, a triple sunpad, and a second al fresco dining option. For water activities, the transom folds down to create a spacious swim platform with a bathing ladder.
The Perfect Yacht Saloon
The interior of PATEA combines comfort, light and smart design. A raised saloon offers panoramic sea views through wraparound glazing, further enhanced by overhead skylights that bring in abundant natural light. The space is finished in a harmonious blend of satin‑finished oak floors and rich American walnut joinery, creating a warm and contemporary atmosphere. The saloon is flexible, with spaces for lounging and dining, plus an internal helm station that doubles as a bar for entertaining. Accommodation includes a full‑beam owner’s suite, a guest double, a convertible twin, and an en‑suite cabin that can also function as a media lounge, providing comfort for up to eight guests. The layout is designed for both privacy and practicality, with separate crew quarters to ensure a seamless guest experience.
