2003 Uniesse MY Flybridge “LIBERTY”

The hulls were designed by Naval Architect Fred Hudson, who focused on a soft, heavy ride in rough waters. Because of this, Uniesse Yachts are famous in the brokerage market for feeling "solid as a rock" under foot. This is a direct result of a very generous fiberglass laminate. You will likely find that the Uniesse is significantly thicker and heavier than modern 2020 production yachts of the same size. In the early 2000's Uniesse used a high ration of resin-2-glass and heavy layers of woven roving. This vessel was custom made.

The Uniesse 55 holds a European CE certification of Category A - Ocean. This is the highest rating designated under the European Recreational Craft Directive (RCD). A Category A rating certifies that the yacht is built to operate safely in largely self-sufficient voyages. This includes the following structural thresholds:

• Wind Conditions: Designed to withstand winds exceeding Beaufort Force 8 (typically over 40 knots or roughly 46 mph).
• Wave Heights: Built to handle significan wave heights above 4 meters (approximately 13 feet), excluding abnormal conditions like rogue waves of hurricanes.
• Intended Use: Certified for extended open ocean passages and deep-sea cruising, reflecting the heavy-duty fiberglass construction standards used by the Italian shipyard.
