Description
2001 Imp 55 - Namaste
The Yacht Sales Co is proud to present Namaste, a Western Australian built Imp 55 designed by Colin Ayres and constructed by Sun Yachts. With her solid build, spacious layout and proven performance, she offers an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a large, comfortable and reliable sailing catamaran.
This four-cabin model, with additional bow cabins for crew, is perfectly suited as a luxurious liveaboard or for extended bluewater cruising. Her vast saloon with exceptional headroom was well ahead of its time, creating an expansive social space that flows seamlessly to the galley down on the port side. With extensive preparation areas and quality equipment, the galley rivals even modern designs, ensuring convenience and practicality at sea.
Accommodation aboard Namaste is generous, with four large cabins plus a single berth on starboard. The two forward cabins are ensuite while the aft cabins share a well-appointed bathroom, delivering comfort and privacy for family and friends alike.
She is powered by twin Perkins diesel engines, recently serviced and maintained with reliability in mind. Straightforward shaft drives and spare propellers add to her appeal for owners prioritising simplicity and dependable operation, making her an ideal vessel for remote cruising. Under sail, her rig is set up for ease of handling, with all sails on furlers and mainsail access from the coachroof—removing the need for unsafe work aloft and ensuring safe, stress-free sailing.
Currently Thai registered, Namaste provides flexibility for her next owners, whether placed into local charter operations or exported for private international cruising. Her combination of comfort, practicality and old-style build quality sets her apart from many modern designs, making her a rare find on today’s market.
Located in Phuket, Thailand, she is ready to set sail with her new custodians for adventures near or far.
