Leonardo Yachts – Eagle 54

Leonardo Yachts - Eagle 54Leonardo Yachts is proud to announce a new model, the Eagle 54. The Eagle 54 is designed in close cooperation with Hoek design. Founded in 1986 by Andre Hoek, Hoek Design is one of the world’s leading offices for naval architecture.
The 54 will offer the same spacious cockpit as the Eagle 44, but where the Eagle 44 is a true daysailer, the 54 will provide more for a longer stay onboard. Needless to say that with size comes more speed and comfort. As you would expect from Leonardo Yachts no compromises on beauty and elegance were made in the design. The 54 has elegant, classic lines combined with modern features and a modern underwater ship.
The boat is designed with shorthanded cruising in mind. There will be two interior options, one with the galley and the heads located near the cabin entrance and the other with the heads and galley located more forward. This second layout features two additional pilot berths. Both layouts feature a grand saloon with the owners berth located near the bow. As the 54 will be a semi custom boat owners can decide upon the interior styling. A traditional mahogany or teak interior is possible but Leonardo Yachts also has a more modern suggestion which involves four club lounge chairs.

Ultra sleek deck
With halyards and the jib sheets running below the all teak deck the Eagle 54 will have an ultra sleek deck layout. For ease of handling the jib winches are positioned within reach of the helmsman. Just forward of the jib winches the two halyard winches that double as gennaker sheet winches. The halyards are neatly tucked away in a practical self draining box located between the winches. A captive winch mounted below decks will take care of the mainsheet trim by the push of a button. The powered headsail furler is mounted below deck. The standard rigging is aluminium, carbon spars are an option as is an inboom furling mainsail. An extensive hydraulic package will allow you to adjust the jib halyard tension, jib car position, vang and backstay position all from the helm.

Less hassle more fun
All these systems will ensure the Eagle 54 can be sailed single-handed. Sailing an Eagle should be uncomplicated fun. And with only 9 tons displacement the Eagle 54 will turn heads not only by looking beautiful but also because of her sailing characteristics. Leonardo Yachts is confident that the Eagle 54 will stand out from other modern classic boats.
