This system significantly reduces the effort associated with launching and recovering the tender and enhances day-to-day usability when cruising.

Cruising Practicality

The tender and garage arrangement was specified as part of the owner's wider focus on practical long-distance cruising and ease of operation.

By integrating tender storage within the yacht's structure, SOLITUDE retains uncluttered deck spaces, improved aesthetics and enhanced safety whilst still carrying a substantial tender package capable of supporting extended cruising, watersports and shore access.

The result is a solution more commonly associated with substantially larger yachts and one that materially enhances the yacht's cruising capability and owner experience.

Many brokerage specifications simply list equipment and options. Whilst SOLITUDE certainly benefits from an extensive factory specification, what truly distinguishes her from other Solaris 64RS yachts is the thought process behind the decisions made during her build and subsequent refinement.

From the outset, the owner approached the project with a clear objective: to create a yacht that would be easy to own, easy to maintain, capable of extended cruising and practical to operate with a small crew. The result is a yacht that feels less like a standard production specification and more like a carefully developed cruising programme.

Esthec Deck Package

One of the most significant owner decisions was the selection of Esthec decking throughout in place of traditional teak.

This choice was driven by several factors:

• Reduced long-term maintenance requirements
• Superior durability
• Ease of repair
• Consistent appearance over time
• Additional deck rigidity through the underlying GRP structure

Whilst many yachts continue to rely on increasingly soft plantation teak, the owner considered Esthec to be the more practical and future-proof solution for long-term ownership.

Importantly, a future owner who prefers teak could still convert the yacht if desired, whilst retaining all of the benefits of the underlying deck structure.

Safety & Deck Ergonomics

Considerable attention was paid to reducing deck hazards and improving day-to-day usability.

Rather than specifying fixed deck cleats in all positions, the owner elected to install retractable folding cleats wherever practical.

This decision was based on two key considerations:

• Reducing trip hazards when moving around the yacht
• Preventing lines from snagging during manoeuvres and sail handling

The result is a cleaner, safer and more efficient working deck.

Additional stainless-steel protection was incorporated around cleat areas to eliminate wear from mooring lines and running rigging, further enhancing long-term durability.

Offshore Preparation

Although primarily cruised in the Mediterranean, SOLITUDE was specified with genuine offshore capability in mind.

A complete staysail preparation package was installed during construction, including chainplates, attachment points and associated rigging provisions.

This allows a future owner to easily add a staysail or storm jib without undertaking significant structural modifications, enhancing heavy-weather capability and offshore versatility.

Sail Handling & Short-Handed Operation

A major objective during the build process was to create a yacht that could be managed efficiently by a small crew.

Following delivery, the original mainsheet control arrangement was upgraded to address known issues associated with the factory Harken control buttons.

The upgraded system incorporates:

• Dedicated electric mainsheet controls
• Improved operational reliability
• Reduced crew workload

Importantly, the original hardwired foot-operated controls have been retained and can be reconnected if preferred by a future owner.

Additional wheel-mounted winch controls further enhance sail handling efficiency, allowing many manoeuvres to be completed without leaving the helm.

These improvements contribute significantly to SOLITUDE's exceptional short-handed sailing characteristics.

Owner-Focused Interior Layout

During the design phase, the owner elected to prioritise storage capacity over additional seating within the owner's cabin.

The standard sofa arrangement was replaced with additional cabinetry and storage solutions, reflecting the practical realities of extended cruising.

The result is a significantly more useful owner's suite, particularly for those planning longer voyages or seasonal cruising programmes.

Galley Specification

Whilst induction cooking has become increasingly common aboard modern yachts, the owner deliberately selected a gas cooking system.

This decision was based on two important considerations:

• Reduced demand on the yacht's electrical systems
• Continued cooking capability in the unlikely event of an electrical system issue

For long-distance cruising and offshore operation, this provides an additional level of independence and resilience.

Cockpit Comfort

The owner also focused heavily on liveability at anchor.

The high-low cockpit table was considered an essential feature and creates a versatile social and relaxation area when combined with the surrounding seating and sunpad arrangement.

Following delivery, the table corners were modified to improve drainage and eliminate water pooling, a small but thoughtful enhancement that reflects the attention to detail applied throughout the yacht.

Complete Warranty Optimisation Programme

Perhaps the single most valuable aspect of SOLITUDE's development is the extensive optimisation programme undertaken following delivery.

The yacht underwent a detailed review involving:

• Solaris Yachts
• The owner
• Professional crew
• Independent survey input

Every early-life issue identified during commissioning and initial operation was addressed and refined.

This process is often one of the most time-consuming and frustrating aspects of new yacht ownership. In SOLITUDE's case, that work has already been completed.

The result is a yacht that has been thoroughly reviewed, tested and optimised, providing a future owner with a level of confidence and readiness that is rarely available in a recently delivered yacht.

The Result

SOLITUDE is more than simply a well-specified Solaris 64RS.

She is a yacht that has been thoughtfully developed through real ownership experience, with numerous enhancements made not for marketing purposes, but to improve reliability, usability, comfort and long-term enjoyment.

For a buyer seeking a Solaris 64RS that is fully sorted, intelligently specified and immediately ready for cruising, SOLITUDE represents a genuinely exceptional opportunity.
