2023 Knysna 500 SE | Alora
Alora is a 2023 Knysna 500 SE, commissioned and first launched in early 2024, presenting as a near-new, owner's version bluewater cruising catamaran. Built by Knysna Yacht Company, she showcases the brand's renowned combination of refined craftsmanship, striking design and impressive sailing performance.
Privately owned since new and never chartered, Alora has been maintained to a high standard, with approximately 900 engine hours reflecting light but purposeful use. Her condition is excellent throughout, supported by consistent care and recent servicing, with antifouling completed and ready for the season ahead.
Designed for serious offshore cruising, Alora is comprehensively equipped with a full bluewater inventory including air conditioning, watermaker and a strong sail wardrobe. Her upgraded Bruntons Autoprop three-blade feathering propellers enhance efficiency and performance under power.
Energy independence is a standout feature, with an advanced Integrel Solutions system delivering exceptional onboard power, supported by nearly 2000W of solar capacity -- ideal for extended off-grid cruising.
A Highfield CL360 centre console tender paired with a Yamaha 25hp outboard completes a well-rounded and capable cruising package.
Beautifully presented, well specified and ready to sail, Alora represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a modern, high-quality cruising catamaran with global appeal.
