‘ALCHEMY’ - Hull #32

The Buizen 48 has achieved iconic status as a handmade Australian yacht with true integrity. Alchemy was built to order by a small family company with a rich heritage for fine craftsmanship. Quality takes time, as in 12 months and 10,000 man hours or more.

With interior space and comfort feeling more like a luxury motor cruiser, she is handcrafted in American Cherrywood with a solid teak laid floor, genuine leather seating and a true entertainer’s galley complete with fridge, freezer, stove and ice maker.

Being a pilothouse saloon yacht, The Buizen 48 allows 180 degree vision with its wraparound windscreen. With the cockpit and saloon all on one level, the skipper can converse with the passengers, making Alchemy a true social boat.

Its hull is hand laid solid fibreglass with triaxial reinforcement glass cloth, incorporating vinylester and polyester resins. All bearers, bulkheads, runners, stringers, floors and joinery are glassed into the hull for strength and rigidity. All the timber was milled by the Buizen factory and all joinery hand built by in house cabinetmakers and customised for each yacht.

Hydraulic furling mainsail and genoa plus motorised winches let you pilot this thoroughbred at the touch of a button, all from the comfort of the helm seat. Under motor, its 1180 L. fuel tank and 150 horsepower turbo diesel engine allow a cruising range of around 1,000 nautical miles at 7.5 knots.

The spirit of constant improvement has seen numerous innovations and refinements added to the Buizen 48 to create the Series 3 edition. On the outside, the optional Midnight Blue colour in an ultradurable epoxy paint system adds elegance and on-water presence.
