Amante
Owner Chris Wilcox
Design Hylas 70
Length Overall 69 feet 7 inches
Flag Marshall Islands
Sail Number

Amante is a blue water cruiser. German Friers design. The hull is laid up in fibre (FRP) and stiffened with longitudinal and transverse FRP beams, laminated to the interior. Bulkheads separate the sail locker, accommodation area, machinery space, and aft storage.
The topsides are finished in grey-blue polyurethane.

The lead-antimony ballast is bolted to the hull with stainless-steel fasteners. A recess inside the ballast holds an FRP centreboard. The board pivots on a pin at the forward edge. A hydraulic ram raises or lowers the board via a line-and-pulley assembly bolted to the deck.

The FRP rudder on stainless-steel stock is hung from bearings set in the hull. Lower bearings are set in a shoe bolted to the skeg.
