Vessel Overview

PALIADOR (ex. CHIMERA) Was designed for performance world voyaging in absolute safety, comfort and indeed luxury, with four owner and guest staterooms and separate crew quarters for four. She was built to the highest standards by Alloy Yachts at the peak of the yard’s legendary craftsmanship capabilities and her original owner enjoyed a dozen years of voyaging to the remote parts of the globe with family and friends, while pursuing his passion for fishing in the farthest reaches. He also maintained the yacht to the highest standards, including a major, all systems refit in 2013. 

PALIADOR's second owner was equally aggressive in his extended cruising itinerary, completing 65,000 miles in his Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific loops, ending up in San Francisco in early 2020. He too, maintained the vessel in pristine Yacht condition, with full refits in the US East Coast, Palma, Mallorca, then a major all systems refit in Aukland, NZ in 2018 with further detailing in San Diego, 2019.

Prior to her present ownership and name change to PALIADOR, she underwent yet another comprehensive refit in 2020, including a complete rig rebuild with all components disassembled, fully serviced, lubricated and/or repainted. Concurrently, all standing rigging was replaced and her topsides sanded, faired and painted with Awlgrip. Also, all deck and superstructure was repainted with Awlcraft and all exterior teak trim was stripped, sanded and refinished to perfection.

In short, PALIADOR is a magnificent home on the water, well proven for extended ocean voyaging, fast and easy to handle with a small crew, and ‘turn key’ ready for many more ocean miles. 

PALIADOR’S Profile and exterior styling are best described as, simply elegant! Her low profile raised pilothouse, relatively low freeboard, sculpted transom and bow overhang, cut an elegant, classic profile that turns heads in every port of call.  

Her magnificent form blends to seawise function, beginning with the hydraulic retractable swim platform and boarding steps to the Aft Deck, which are a magnificent convenience for swimming and tender access, stern boarding passarelles, etc.. Immediately forward on the stern deck, there are wide hydraulic hatches opening to large lazarette storage for all deck gear and water toys. Forward on centerline is the Owner’s Stateroom Companionway, offering private access to the deck and swim platform.

Forward and outboard to port and starboard are all sailhandling winches, mostly hydraulic, and conveniently located for best visibility of the sailplan, also well clear of the helm and entertaining cockpits forward. Forward on the side decks, gates in the cockpit coaming port and starboard allow access to the Helm Cockpit, which is raised to allow clear visibility over the Cockpit Bimini and Dodger forward, which afford full protection from sun, wind and spray. The helm pedestal houses all controls for the yacht; steering, bow and stern thrusters, plus all gauges and instrumentation to manage her underway. The pedestal is surrounded by a cushioned settee aft, port and starboard.

Next forward, the Entertaining Cockpit has ‘U’ shaped seating to port, surrounding the expandable varnished teak dining table with folding chairs inboard to accommodate 6-8 for dining. To starboard is an ‘L shaped’ settee outboard plus refrigerator and wet bar, which completes this comfortable on deck entertaining area. Forward on PALIADOR’s marvelously uncluttered teak deck, flush stainless deck hatches, hidden sheet leads, multiple watertight side deck lockers, under deck anchor systems and a huge foc’sle maintain the clean functionality of PALIADOR’s elegant design.

PALIADOR sleeps eight in four owner and guest cabins aft, plus two ensuite crew cabins forward. The most striking feature of her interior is the huge sense of volume as the Cockpit adjoins the Pilothouse and the Salon down and forward. The craftsmen at Alloy Yachts have proven their mettle with the traditional varnished cherry joinerwork accented by fabric panels, solid varnished maple cabin soles with teak inlays in both salons, aft passageway and heads. Tasteful fabrics and multiple lighting options with dimmers add to the interior ambience. The other striking feature of PALIADOR’s interior is the marvelous ergonomic flow of the layout, with the owners full-width suite aft with private deck access plus three generous guest staterooms aft and comfortable crew quarters with lounge and private deck access forward. 

PILOTHOUSE  

The spacious pilothouse, accessed from the cockpit via a wide companionway, combines the two areas into a very sizable entertaining area which is further enhanced by the open space forward and down several steps to the full beam Main Salon! The sense of open space, with unrestricted 360 degree view to the horizon is simply sublime! 

The large dining area is to port with an expandable table and three large removable chairs that add seating capacity inboard. To starboard is a complete navigation and piloting station with multiple screens, communication equipment and other instrumentation to safely operate the vessel. An L-settee is aft to starboard, with two large chart drawers and a wet locker also provided.  

Forward and down a few steps from the pilothouse is the main salon, which is open to the forward facing windshields above, creating an open skylight effect. Comfortable lounge seating is to port with a flat screen TV forward that drops down and opens up to the galley for casual serving or breakfast at the counter using two bar stools. To starboard is an additional L-settee aft and fully equipped bar forward with wine cooler, icemaker and sink, along with two leather bar stools. Numerous end tables and lockers provide exceptional customized storage for glasses, dinnerware and other items. A passageway leads aft and down a few steps to the guest accommodations.

Forward of the main saloon is the galley area with a functional U-shaped design and generous countertops, plus storage lockers and the option of opening the bulkhead as a serving area to the lower saloon. Vertical Sub-Zero refrigerator with twin drawers below and twin sub-sole freezer compartments with 18 cu. ft. of storage. There are additional large storage areas below the sole for keeping long-term supplies and provisions. To starboard is the crew mess with comfortable seating for four and access to all ship’s monitoring and entertainment equipment, as well as a laundry area aft. Two large hatches and two opening portholes provide excellent natural light and ventilation, along with a large hatch for access directly to the foredeck.
