Evening Star, the latest Schionning Solitaire 1520, showcases a commitment to quality and performance. Built by Mahi Boats at Gold Coast City Marina, this 54-foot vessel emphasizes endurance and simplicity, designed for genuine off-grid cruising. With two crew members, it prioritizes diving and spear fishing over speed.
The focus is on sustainable performance, measured by 24-hour runs rather than load cells. As Evening Star enters the commissioning phase, inspections reveal meticulous attention to detail. Weight distribution is optimized, and control lines are centralized for ease of use while navigating.
The finish is exceptional, featuring a high-gloss panel that reflects the craftsmanship involved. The project brings together top-notch suppliers: Gurit handles the structures, McConaghy's MC1 creates the stunning boom, Rope Solutions supplies the running rigging, Harken provides deck gear, and North Sails outfits the vessel.
Mahi's team collaborates closely with these experts, ensuring every aspect of construction meets rigorous standards. The design includes a unique H structure under the mast, enhancing stability and strength. Evening Star embodies a blend of innovation and tradition, setting a new standard for ocean cruising.
