The spirit of sailing is adventure. It’s fair winds rippling across thick canvas sails, the sun on your face, calm seas, and a convivial setting with family and friends. It’s about circumnavigation, remote locations, and adrenaline-fueled thrills. But it’s not about risk – not ever.

Not many sailing yachts fall into the category of “world’s safest” – yet Melody does. A true passion project that raises the bar on both quality and functionality. Designed and engineered by Olivier van Meer and built by Ridas Yacht, the 41.54-metre sailing yacht is a true feat of engineering that is just as comfortable in 0 degrees as she is in 40-degree temperatures. Each part and component has been handpicked and is nothing short of premium.

Her set-up with a hydraulic centreboard and twin, independent masts and winches ensures ease of sailing, even during long, daring excursions. She can be managed by a small crew and with a shallow 2.7-metre draft is just as able inland as she is out at sea. Thanks to an ingenious tender garage in her transom, with a refuelling station and storage for a 4.5-metre Williams diesel tender, owner and guests’ explorations are unrestricted.

With 145 GT of interior volume and four spacious staterooms, Melody can easily accommodate eight guests. She has a large dining area and ambient saloon, yet she best lends herself to an alfresco lifestyle with large expansive deck spaces, a Jacuzzi with panoramic views and a number of casual outdoor conversational areas. She’s state-of-the-art and equipped with infotainment and audio-visual units, supplied by Bose.

Built in accordance with Lloyd’s classification and a finalist for the BOAT International’s Superyacht Award, you’ll be hard-pressed to find such an able and robust sailing yacht as well-built as Melody. She also represents a rare opportunity to buy a brand-new sailing yacht, bypassing long lead times.
