Ocean Alexander 112 "Sugaray"
The Ocean Alexander 112 is a result of a stepped-up approach from Evan K Marshall and Ocean Alexander. With an LOA of 112-feet, a BOA of 24.6-feet and a draft of 6.3-feet "Sugaray" is quite spacious for a yacht just over 100-feet. She is also small enough to access pretty much any marina or close in to bays and coves. Typically, vessels of this size are tri-deck, this one has four decks. A lower deck is where most of the accommodation is located, the main deck is where the formal entertainment can take place, the bridge deck or what some may call an upper deck is more informal entertainment and the sundeck is all about relaxation...

Foiling vessels are not new as the concept has been used on smaller passenger ferries and even naval applications but in the world of luxury yachts this idea has not lept from the drawing board and into reality at least on a consistent basis.
