Mystere is a 143’ (43 m) Alustar hull and carbon superstructure sloop and is a further development of both Alithia and our lift-keel yachts. Vitters Shipyard newly delivered Mystere in August 2006. Built to the highest standards, she is designed as a fast and responsive world cruiser.

The lifting keel allows a reduction in draft from 19 feet (5.75m) to 12 feet (3.75m) combining access to shoal water with excellent sailing characteristics and stability. The powerful sailplan includes a fully battened mainsail on a Leisure Furl Boom from Marten Spars, a full genoa and staysail on furlers, as well as a Code 0 and an asymmetric spinnaker.

The exterior is a low pilothouse on a flush deck with hidden captive winches, and under-deck leads for safety and uncluttered walkways. The cockpit is sunk below deck level, inside a coaming, affording protection, yet a clear sightline from the wheel to the bow over the deckhouse. A separate owner’s cockpit aft acts as the private terrace leading to the owner’s suite. The interior is by Dick Young in a clean but warm style, featuring a large pilothouse salon, and accommodations for seven guests with a crew of six.

With her clean lines, light displacement and a generous interior, this yacht will excel in comfort and performance
